Overview

The Richmond Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) have a duty to produce a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JHWBS). The board’s first Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (2013-16) focused on the integration of health and social care services, identifying priority areas where improvements could be made through partnerships.

The board is in the process of developing its second JHWBS for 2016-2021. This refreshed strategy will continue to work towards the HWB’s shared vision for health and wellbeing in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames:

“All people in Richmond are able to achieve their full potential, live their lives with confidence and resilience, and access quality services that promote independence and deliver value for money”

To underpin this work, the board have agreed a strategic theme for the JHWBS 2016-2021:

‘Prevention and joined-up services across the life course, to enable all residents to start well, live well and age well’.

This refreshed strategy aims to be a tool that will enable the HWB to champion key principles and initiatives, and provide a framework for other strategies and commissioning plans across health and social care in Richmond.
 

Developing the Strategy

To develop this strategy the board engaged in a ‘learning by doing’ process, participating in facilitated seminars with a range of local stakeholders to draw out themes and priorities. This included:

  • Review of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) including ‘The Richmond Story 2015-16’.
  • Engagement in two HWB ‘Listening Events’ in which the board invited members of the public and local organisations to share their views about local health and wellbeing. These were on the themes of ‘Healthy Lifestyles’ and ‘Health and Wellbeing for Children and Young People’.
  • A review of the results of previous engagement activities to identify relevant themes, including a thematic review of the rich engagement work undertaken over the past 18 months to inform Richmond CCG and Richmond Council’s new outcomes based approach to commissioning.  
  • A series of strategy working groups with HWB members and key council and CCG officers.
