Joint Strategic Needs Assessment

The Health and Social Care Act (2012) requires health and wellbeing boards to produce a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA).

JSNAs are local assessments of current and future health and social care needs. The aims of the JSNA are to improve the health and wellbeing of the local population and reduce inequalities throughout the life-course by supporting commissioning plans and other decision making.

The JSNA informs the Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy (PDF - 3.6 MB) which outlines the key priorities for improving health and wellbeing of people living in the Borough of Bromley together with expected outcomes. It is evidence-based and updated on a rolling basis bringing together a range of topics with input from the council, NHS and partner agencies which can be referenced together.

The Public Health Intelligence team has developed a self-serve tool listing data sources prominent in the production of the JSNA. These platforms provide a wide range of open and detailed information relevant to Bromley.
