Health and Wellbeing Strategy

We would like to hear your views on our draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2026-2031.

This sets out how the Health and Wellbeing Board will work together to promote wellbeing, prevent ill health, and reduce health inequalities across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

The strategy is based on evidence from the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and shaped by feedback from consultation and engagement activities.

What we’re focusing on

We have identified four Strategic Priorities for improving health and wellbeing across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole:

Starting Well
Mental Wellbeing
Living and Ageing Well
Healthy Neighbourhoods and Communities

For each strategic priority there are a series of proposed actions and a small number of key indicators that we can measure to know that we are making a difference.
