The Born and Bred In (BaBi) Network has announced an innovative regional collaboration between BaBi sites in Humber and North Yorkshire, the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care System (ICS), and the BaBi Network. To mark this significant development, a new logo has been unveiled, featuring key landmarks from its BaBi sites, to create ‘BaBi Humber and North Yorkshire’.
This collaboration represents a shift from the traditional model of single BaBi sites working independently to a more integrated system approach. The initiative aims to enhance data sharing capabilities, create new joint funding and research opportunities, provide improved support across sites and engagement with system stakeholders.
The Innovation, Research, and Improvement System (IRIS) team within the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) is playing a crucial role in supporting BaBi sites in Harrogate, Hull and East Riding, York and Scarborough, and Lincolnshire and Goole.
Becky Bibby, Programme Director for IRIS said:
“Within Humber and North Yorkshire, we are taking a unique system approach to Born and Bred In (BaBi). In recognition and celebration of this unique approach, we are delighted to be the first ICS to have a collective BaBi logo, representing our joined-up system approach and our mission to secure data driven and evidence-based solutions for our health and care challenges. The logo is a testament to the positive impact that IRIS is having as a system convener and our vision to create a system wide supporting structure and culture which allows research, innovation and improvement to become core business across all of the organisations and partners within our ICS.”
This collaborative effort is expected to significantly enhance the capacity for data-driven and evidence-based solutions to health and care challenges across the Humber and North Yorkshire region.
