Nottinghamshire Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy Consultation

Overview

The Background - What is the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy?

It is the County’s overarching plan for improving health and wellbeing outcomes for our residents whilst also reducing health inequalities. It is the main way in which the Board executes its legal duty to work on:

• Improving the health and wellbeing of the people in their area
• Reducing health inequalities
• Promoting the integration of services

In Nottinghamshire we believe that all our residents should have the opportunity to make the choices that allow them to live a healthy life, regardless of their income, education or ethnic background.  Whilst there is a lot that can be done to keep people healthy and independent we also know that for some of our residents the time will come when they may need some extra help and support to live well with frailty or ill health. When that happens we will work with care services (NHS and social care) along with housing to ensure people get the care and support they need at the right time and in the right place.
