Publish regional summary report: celebrating successes, recommendations for areas for development and challenges DH SW to publish and communicate exemplar activities via internet (links with OLC?) Knowledge transfer of best practice: action learning sets, continue to build skills capacity and capabilities Continue progress in localities – follow-up on local recommendations via Staying Healthy and action plans
Agenda: What we did and how What we found – Success, Areas for Development, Challenges What we learnt What next
comments: thoughts so far on the elements that are coming across consistently are: Strengths Partnership working and enthusiasm demonstrated by staff in taking the adult obesity agenda forward Strategies and Action Plans in place evidencing clear links to Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives policy theme areas Evaluation coming through on local projects Sustainability agenda & transport priorities align and good engagement with council teams A wide range of innovative locally-designed healthy weight and physical activity programmes that are being accessed by target groups. Where they have designated responsibilities, elected members acting as health and well-being champions support the prioritisation of healthy weight at a strategic level. Areas for development Long term evaluation of outcomes The inclusion of behaviour change as an outcome Evidence of what interventions work Baseline pop. level adult BMI data Granular/local level data on needs to rationalise prioritisation Strategic approach to communication and use of social marketing (being done well in some places but not many) Areas need to be clearer on their commissioning priorities for healthy weight programmes across both NHS and Local Authority. Adequate needs assessment and evaluation is required to support this (and to guide potential decommissioning of services to divert funding elsewhere if required). Needs assessment should include involvement from public, patient and service provider representatives. Challenges Balance between Unviersal and Targetted interventions National policy and priorities Financial Constraints Other Comments Strengths Partnership working Strategies and Action Plans in place Evaluation beginning to come through on local projects Sustainability agenda & transport priorities align and good engagement with council transport teams (although early days for most) PCT investment has risen in last few years Areas for development more consistent evaluation of weight management and physical activity programmes, within each prog (first phase) and between each (second phase) PCTs need better understanding of planning and transport systems, so they know what to ask for and need more capacity to engage so they can be sure they get results LA member attitudes resistant to change on active travel using front line health staff to feel confident to raise issues of weight and activity levels with patients Long term evaluation of outcomes The inclusion of behaviour change as an outcome Evidence of the extent to which interventions work cost effectiveness using evaluation results to determine future investment having a rationale for levels of spending (no logic to what they spend eg inrelation to costs of doing nothing) Baseline pop. level adult BMI data Granular/local level data on needs to rationalise prioritisation Strategic approach to communication and use of social marketing (being done well in some places but not many) limited use of C4L not feeling engaged Challenges Balance between Unviersal and Targetted interventions grey area of responsibilities of las and pcts -ie who should pay to keep people active? National policy and priorities Using JSNA data to provide knowledge and wisdom not just data! Use of local surveys to supplement understanding from national surveys
Follow up – essential not just for the benefit of the local area i.e. to show progress against the recommendations and areas for improvement but also for the regional team to check updates on pioneering programmes and evaluations
