The Health and
Wellbeing Board’s vision is for citizens to thrive in a city
that supports their mental and physical health and wellbeing, with
children growing up free of ‘Adverse Childhood
Experiences’, and the gaps in health outcomes between the
most economically deprived areas and
the most affluent areas of Bristol significantly
reduced.
The Board was
established in 2013 and aims to improve health and wellbeing
by providing a forum in which key health and care leaders can work
together. It consists of elected members and leaders from public
health, social care, the NHS and the voluntary and community
sector. Connectivity to the other One
City thematic Boards is crucial in order to address the
‘social determinants of health’; the conditions in
which people are born, grow, live, work and age.
