The aim of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy is to improve the health and wellbeing of the people living in Brent. This includes helping people to stay healthy and making sure they can access services if they need them.
This strategy is for the young and the old, and every age in between. It is for people from different backgrounds, with different lifestyles, for the healthy and those with long-term health conditions and disabilities. We want to hear from you all.
We have split the strategy into five priorities. These are:
Healthy Lives: I am able to make the healthy choice and live in a healthy way, for myself and the people I care for.
Healthy Places: Near me there are safe, clean places where I, and people I care for, can go to relax, exercise for free, meet with like-minded people, and where we can grow our own food.
Staying Healthy: I, and the people I care for, understand how to keep ourselves physically and mentally healthy, managing our health conditions using self-care first. We have access to good medical care when we need it.
Healthy ways of working: The health, care and wellbeing workforce will be happy and strong; and the health and wellbeing system will recover quickly from the impacts of the pandemic.
Understanding, listening and improving: I, and those I care for, can have our say and contribute to the way services are run; Brent Health and Wellbeing Board data are good quality and give a good picture of health inequalities.
The Brent Health and Wellbeing Board has a statutory duty to produce a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JWHS) for our local population, as set out in the Health and Social Care Act 2012.
