This report provides an overview of the patient and public engagement undertaken
by the health and care partners in Kingston to inform the development of a health
and care plan for the borough.
The Health and Care Plan (HCP) is being developed with the aim of ensuring
residents Start Well as children, Live Well as adults and Age Well for longer as older
adults.
To help achieve this aim, four overarching themes that feature across the life course
have been identified by the borough’s Health and Wellbeing Board and Kingston’s
local system leaders to focus on over the next two years:
- Identifying, recognising, and supporting unpaid carers of all ages, to ensure that in
all the objectives, unpaid carers are linked to appropriate support options enabling
them to reduce the social, financial, and mental and physical health impacts they
face. - Tackling obesity in all ages, enabling people to live physically active and healthy
lifestyles, at a healthy weight, to prevent ill-health and improve wellbeing. - Promoting the mental health and resilience of residents of all ages.
- Tackling inequalities in health to reduce disparities for those most disadvantaged.
