Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)
The JSNA is a continuous process which provides information on health and well-being in order to inform decision making.
Improving the public's health and reducing inequalities
The Worcestershire Health and Well-being Board under the Health and Social Care Act 2012 has a duty to undertake Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). The JSNA is a continuous process which provides information on health and well-being in order to inform decision making.
The JSNA facilitates the improvement of health and well-being and the reduction of inequalities for the local community. It is used to determine what actions local authorities, the NHS, and other partners need to take to meet people's health and social care needs and to address the wider determinants that impact on their health and well-being.
The focus of Worcestershire’s Health and Wellbeing Board Strategy for 2022 to 2032 is on good mental health and wellbeing, supported by action in areas that we all need to be well in Worcestershire which are: healthy living at all ages; safe, thriving and healthy homes, communities and places; and quality local jobs and opportunities.
As well as providing updates on these topics the JSNA highlights a number of emerging issues that are a challenge for Worcestershire.
