Dear All,
We’d like to cordially invite you to the latest event looking at adult Health and Social Care integration here in Edinburgh, with the next stage of development just starting.
A shadow Strategic Planning Group has now met, bringing together people from across the NHS, Health & Social Care, the Third Sector, Independent Sector and carers/service users. We want to feedback to everyone in the Third Sector interested in shaping the future of health and social care services on how the Strategic Plan is being developed.
This upcoming meeting will focus on Edinburgh’s draft
Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)
which is a key element of the process of preparing a strategic plan.
Monday 27 April, 9.30am – 12.00noon
City of Edinburgh Methodist Church, 25 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh EH8 9BX
Please book here so we can arrange teas and coffees:

JSNA Background
The JSNA aims to provide an assessment and forecast of needs to enable investment to be linked to all agreed desired outcomes, considering options, planning the nature, range and quality of future services and working in partnership to put these in place.
The purpose of the JSNA is to agree a comprehensive local picture of health and wellbeing needs, using intelligence and analysis to determine:
o Current and future needs
o What’s working, what’s not, and what could work better?
o What are the major health inequalities and what can be done about them?
o Unmet needs, including those of seldom-heard populations and vulnerable groups
This will be used to:
o Negotiate and agree overarching priorities on health and wellbeing;
o Influence commissioning and decision making
Really hope you can make this meeting.
Ian Brooke, Deputy Director, EVOC
