What is a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)?

The JSNA:

  • Is a comprehensive picture of information and data of the health, care, and wellbeing needs and inequalities of Kingston (now and in the future) in order to improve and protect health and wellbeing outcomes.
  • Provides information on local community views and evidence of effectiveness of existing interventions which will help to shape future plans for services.
  • Reflects the wider social factors that have an impact on people’s health and wellbeing. These factors which have been found to have the most significant influence are widely known as the determinants of health. While health services make a contribution to health, most of the key determinants of health, for example, education, employment, housing, and environment, lie outside the direct influence of healthcare.

Why Have a JSNA?

Local authorities and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) have equal and joint statutory duties to prepare a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment through the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB). The JSNA informs Kingston’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy which is also owned by the Health and Wellbeing Board.

The JSNA is used to inform and guide commissioning intentions across health, wellbeing, and social care services so that they will achieve better health and wellbeing outcomes.

It aims to communicate key messages to a wide audience including staff from Local Authority and the NHS, elected members, including senior decision makers and service commissioners, local service providers, Voluntary and Community sector providers, residents and the general public.

Kingston’s Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy

Kingston’s Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2017-2019 provides Kingston residents and organisations with a picture of what the Health and Wellbeing Board, through its members and wider partners, will need to deliver over the next two years and how we will work together to achieve this. The Kingston Health and Wellbeing Board has agreed to focus on the following four priority areas where we believe that by working together we will make the most difference:

  1. Children and young people
  2. Mental health
  3. Older people and people with long-term conditions
  4. Addressing the needs of socially excluded and disadvantaged communities

These priority areas were identified in the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment.
