Joint Strategic Needs Assessment

The aim of the JSNA is to improve the health and wellbeing of the local community and reduce inequalities for all ages, identifying those groups where health and care needs are not being met and those which are experiencing comparatively different outcomes.

Hillingdon's JSNA is an ongoing process, which is used to determine what actions Hillingdon Council, Hillingdon NHS and our partners need to take to prioritise and address health and social care needs, improve health outcomes and reduce health inequalities. 

It pulls together local needs assessments, strategies, and plans.
