Equally Well

A healthier, fairer future for North Tyneside.

An introduction to the North Tyneside Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2021-2025

The joint health and wellbeing strategy to tackle health inequalities is North Tyneside’s high level strategic plan for improving the health and wellbeing of our population.

It builds on the previous strategy and existing work to reduce inequalities in the borough and outlines the approach for the next four years.

All partners acknowledge that major change will take time to achieve and there is a longer-term commitment to reducing inequalities and narrowing the gap.

The North Tyneside Health and Wellbeing Board is responsible for the strategy, which has been developed by its representative partners and will shape and inform plans for commissioning and providing services that address the wider determinants of health and reduce inequalities.

Engagement with the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector (VCSE), residents, young people, elected members and health and care professionals has been carried out to identify work that is already happening and the current challenges.

This engagement continues to be important in the subsequent development of a detailed implementation plan for the strategy.
