Health Improvement Strategy

This is Newcastle’s first Health Improvement Strategy, effective from April 2007 to March 2017.  It has been produced by the Newcastle Wellbeing and Health Partnership on behalf of the Newcastle Partnership.  It is intended for all people working or living in the city with an interest in improving their own health or the health of others.

Making really significant improvements to the health of Newcastle residents requires collective action, over a long period of time, from across all society.  We believe the city needs a ten-year health improvement strategy to complement the other key citywide long-term strategies such as the Regeneration Strategy, the Sustainable Communities Strategy, the Housing Strategy, the Children and Young People’s Plan and the strategy for an ageing population; together they identify a long-term vision for Newcastle with actions aimed at improving wellbeing and quality of life for the city’s residents.
