Gateshead Health and Wellbeing Strategy

We will develop governance and reporting arrangements to make sure there are effective ways to monitor, evaluate and review progress of delivering against this strategy and report this into the Gateshead Health and Wellbeing board at least annually.

The outcomes we want to achieve are in line with the Institute of Health Equity suggested measures for demonstrating progress on tackling health inequalities; https://www.instituteofhealthequity.org/taking-action/monitoring-and-evaluating-progress- (opens new window). We will develop Gateshead local indicator sets using these to monitor local inequalities and review progress of the impact of local interventions in the short, medium and long-term. To help tell the story of our health and wellbeing strategy, we will work with stakeholders to capture lived experience and develop case studies in line with the policy objectives.

The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment will support stakeholders to understand the key health and wellbeing issues for communities in Gateshead, including the building blocks of health and wellbeing.

This will be reviewed and monitored alongside the strategy to make sure priorities are identified and worked towards.

We will review this strategy at least every 5 years.
