Derbyshire JSNA

Welcome to Derbyshire’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). This assessment helps us understand what people in Derbyshire need to be healthy and well. It looks at things like how people feel, the choices they make, where they live, and the challenges they face. By knowing all this, we can make better plans and decisions to support everyone’s health and happiness. Let’s explore the important factors that shape the well-being of our community.

Derbyshire are on a transformation journey of developing its Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). We are working with leads across health to produce a JSNA that has been developed by experts in their area, which contains the latest and relevant information. As part of this journey, we have already developed Key Topic Summaries (KTS) for several health topics. However, this is just the beginning. We are actively working to expand our coverage to include a wider range of health areas.

We believe that collaboration is key to success. If you are an expert or a lead in a specific area and are interested in contributing to the JSNA, we would love to hear from you. Your expertise can significantly impact shaping a well-rounded and informative JSNA for Derbyshire.

Key Topics

Derbyshire’s JSNA is built upon the framework of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Health Index. It encompasses three key domains: ‘Healthy People’ explores personal well-being, ‘Healthy Lives’ delves into choices and safety, and ‘Healthy Places’ considers our local environment. We have also included a ‘Demographics’ domain which contains the topics that underpin the other three domains. These domains collectively offer a comprehensive view of our community’s health and guide our efforts for a healthier Derbyshire.
