Child Population Health Theme Strategy
Meet the Team
Our vision is to maximise children’s health and wellbeing in the multi-ethnic diverse NWL population through the promotion of positive health behaviours, prevention, early detection and intervention in illnesses diagnosed in childhood.
We also aim to mitigate health inequalities by minimising unwarranted variation in health care and minimise health costs through inputs to local and national community, health system and policy.
Our revised strategy builds on our existing strengths in harnessing routine data from health, social care and educational settings, and incorporates lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.
We will focus on improving community based preventive care programmes to reduce the burden of infectious illness and unscheduled healthcare use in the early years, evaluate programmes to promote better diet and increase physical activity to reduce child obesity and improve detection and treatment in children and young people and vulnerable groups to minimise health inequalities.
We have updated some of our original long-term objectives accordingly to reflect these priorities for ongoing work.
