Future challenges and priorit iesSmoking prevalence, especially mid-age men

Growing obesity, poor diet, low physical activity

Alcohol consumption especially young people

Mental wellbeing Isolation in mid-years

Low, declining self-rated health status generally Whole person / whole family approach (work, skills, money, lifestyle, positive aspiration, quality of life, civic engagement)

Need to integrate GP and community based actions better

Future challenges and priorit iesRapidly changing environment - who do we partner with?

Challenging financial environment - funding likely to become more scarce – how do we sustain this level of input in the future?

Better use of resources – can everyone be an ambassador of public health?

Better relationships with GP’s – how do we secure ‘buy-in’ and open up new opportunit ies?

Prevention agenda- lifestyle / behaviour changes- how can we use social marketing?

Local Involvement

Involving local people in health decision making is central to the health agenda

We have an established relationship with Castle Vale that we want to continue

New partnerships are developing…CCG’s,Healthwatch

We would like to build on current relationships and create more opportunities

Partnership working and the Neighbourhood Partnership Board

Adding value through local coordination and promotion of commissioned providers

Opportunity to ‘test bed’ out new ideas/ pilot new approaches

Unique history can help build future good practice

A successful Neighbourhood needs people with the capacity to deliver, the resources to deliver and the commitment to make a difference
