Information about Exeter Community Health and Wellbeing Board

1.            PURPOSE

 

The purpose of the Exeter Community Health and Wellbeing Board is to develop strategies for securing improved health and wellbeing outcomes for citizens.  The Board will operate as an oversight group holding each other to account on the delivery of agreed strategies and programmes with a focus on reducing inequalities across the City.

 

The Board will promote integration and partnership working between the City Council, Devon County Council social care, public health, NHS, voluntary services, communities and the wider public sector.

 

The Board will ensure that all key plans and policies appropriately reflect the health and wellbeing priorities identified through the joint needs assessment process (JSNA) and will be informed by data such as the Integrated Care for Exeter Risk Stratification and Pathway Costing Tool. 

 

Where necessary the board will establish ‘expert’ task and finish groups where additional needs analysis or guidance on the evidence of the effectiveness of interventions is required; and will establish project groups where appropriate in order to effectively deliver objectives of the Board.

 

 

2.           FUNCTION

 

The Board will maintain an overall focus on encouraging citizens to become more active and will develop and update an annual evidenced-based Exeter Community, Health, Wellbeing and Physical Activity Strategy and delivery plan. 

 

The Board will continue to have oversight of the Active Exeter Programme and the development of the Physical Activity Vison Wheel agreed by partners during 2017 as part of our joint work as part of the Sport England Local Delivery Pilot programme.

 

The Board will provide co-ordination and implementation for agreed strategies. The priorities for 2018/9 will be the implementation of the Exeter Youth Strategy (2017) and the adoption of the Exeter Community Forum Community Strategy (2016) and asset based community development (ABCD) approaches across the city.

 

The Board will act as an oversight and advisory group for the Wellbeing Exeter Steering Group providing feedback on the delivery of social prescribing and community building across the City.

 

The Board will facilitate an annual themed conference and networking event for members and wider stakeholders.
