Previous events
Midland Met roadshow
We transformed a disused patient transport van into a rolling billboard for the new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital and visited our local communities to let them know what was happening.
We shared information about the new hospital, what services remain at Sandwell and City Hospitals (now renamed Sandwell and City Health Campuses) and what transferred to Midland Met.
Stroke Services Workshop
To ensure we have the right services in the correct place ahead of the opening of Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, we are proposing to make changes to the way we deliver some of the care across the Trust.
We are continuing our focus on stroke services and have produced a document that outlines the proposed changes we wish to discuss with stroke survivors, their carers and loved ones and other interested parties across Sandwell and West Birmingham.
We are proposing three different ways in which we care for these patients which are detailed in the report accessed via this link: Stroke Service Publication leaflet(opens in a new tab).
As part of our engagement about the service, we held a workshop at the YMCA West Bromwich on 23 November, where we heard from our community about what they thought of the the improvements we have made so far.

Food and Nutrition Session
- A Food and Nutrition in hospital settings session was held at Sandwell Hospital, with discussions around what improvements could be made.
