Joint Strategic Needs Assessment

Introduction

This resource is designed for anyone who lives or works in Hartlepool and cares about health, quality of life, and health and social care services. It supports our shared goal of securing a healthier future for all residents.

Rather than focusing on clinical services like GP visits or hospital care, this assessment explores the broader factors that influence health and wellbeing across our community.

Purpose of the JSNA

The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) brings together insights from a wide range of contributors and data sources to identify and address the health and wellbeing needs of Hartlepool’s population.

It is informed by local plans, strategies, and policies developed through needs assessments, data analysis, and research. This centralised resource enables partners to evaluate progress against public health outcomes and align commissioning strategies to better serve areas of greatest need.
