11. Future challenges and priorities
Smoking 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

12. Future challenges and priorities
Rapidly 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
opportunities?
Prevention agenda- lifestyle / behaviour changes-
how can we use social marketing?

13. 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

14. 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

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