Kingston’s 2023 Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)

Healthwatch Kingston engagement work with Kingston residents has helped to inform this 2023 JSNA. 

The JSNA:

• Is a comprehensive picture of information and data of the health, care, and wellbeing needs and inequalities of Kingston (now and in the future) in order to improve and protect health and wellbeing outcomes.
• Provides information on local community views and evidence of effectiveness of existing interventions which will help to shape future plans for services.
• Reflects the wider social factors that have an impact on people’s health and wellbeing. These factors which have been found to have the most significant influence are widely known as the determinants of health. While health services make a contribution to health, most of the key determinants of health, for example, education, employment, housing, and environment, lie outside the direct influence of healthcare.

It aims to communicate key messages to a wide audience including staff from Local Authority and the NHS, elected members, including senior decision makers and service commissioners, local service providers, Voluntary and Community sector providers, residents and the general public.
