The Health and Wellbeing Board is scheduled to consider strategies for improving health and wellbeing and tackling health inequalities in Buckinghamshire. The meeting's agenda includes discussions on the Health and Wellbeing Strategy's Age Well focus, a review of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment, and updates from various partner organisations.

Health and Wellbeing Strategy Focus - Age Well

A significant portion of the meeting is expected to be dedicated to the Age Well aspect of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy. This will involve presentations on three key initiatives: the Proactive Frailty Clinic, the ASC prevention service, and the Move Together programme. These initiatives aim to address the health and wellbeing needs of older residents in Buckinghamshire.

Joint Strategic Needs Assessment

The Board is also scheduled to review the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). The JSNA is a process used by local authorities and NHS bodies to assess the health needs of their local population and to inform commissioning decisions. The report pack indicates that this will be a key item for discussion, with pages 63-70 of the agenda documents dedicated to this topic.

Updates from Partner Organisations

Several partner organisations are expected to provide updates to the Board. These include:

• Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust: Represented by Mr Raghuv Bhasin.
• Bucks GPPA: Represented by Dr George Gavriel.
• Healthwatch Bucks: Represented by Ms Zoe McIntosh. Healthwatch is an independent consumer champion for health and social care services.
• Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board (BOB ICB): Represented by Ms Nicola Newstone. Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) are statutory organisations responsible for planning and delivering integrated health and care services in their area.
• Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust: Represented by David Walker.
• Community Impact Bucks: Represented by Kate Walker.

Additionally, there will be an update on the Buckinghamshire Executive Partnership and the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK) Integrated Care Board.

Neighbourhood Health

The agenda also lists Neighbourhood Health as a topic for discussion, though further details are not provided in the publicly available information, with this item being a verbal report.

Forward Plan

Looking ahead, the Board will consider its forward plan for the next meeting on 14 May 2026. Items scheduled for that meeting include a focus on the Live Well aspect of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy and the Buckinghamshire Works Plan.
