The Board to receive an update and feedback on the Neighbourhood Health Plan workshop session of 29 January.

Lucy Baker

Lucy Baker briefed the Board on the latest developments in relation to the development of Neighbourhood Health Plans including feedback on the workshop session which took place on 29 January:

1. The workshop was the first multi-partner event about the B&NES neighbourhood vision. 
2. There was a discussion about understanding of the context of B&NES and the localised vision of neighbourhood.
3. Following feedback from the session, there were actions to strengthen wider determinants and local participation.
4. Neighbourhood Health Plans would not be a single solution; it was about doing things differently together and building on the strong foundations that were already in place. 
5. Greater coherence, clarity and consistency were needed to reduce fragmentation
6. The vision reflected local strengths and challenges. 
7. There was collective ownership of the direction of travel and partners could align behind the vision, even with different roles and responsibilities
8. The vision would be used in the next phase of development and provided a usable narrative for conversations, planning and decision-making across the system.

The following points were raised by Board members:

1. The workshop was well facilitated.
2. There were good outcomes. 
3. Health and Wellbeing Board members were advised to attend any future sessions.
