The Essex Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy is due to go the Health Wellbeing Board for approval on the 18th July.

This strategy articulates a shared vision for health and wellbeing in Essex. It sets out our key countywide strategic priorities, which address four areas of focus:

1. Improving mental health and wellbeing
2. Addressing obesity, improving diet and increasing physical activity
3. Influencing conditions and behaviours linked to health inequalities
4. Enabling and supporting people with long-term conditions and disabilities.

The development of the strategy has been overseen by the Essex Strategic Coordination Group. The strategy will be shared online once formally adopted.
