This report presents a brief review of the launch of the Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy event which took place on 12 July 2023.

The Director of Public Health gave a summary of the launch event which was held in July. Participants helped contribute to the delivery of the strategy’s two key priorities and these are currently being written up in delivery plans that are due to come to the Board in December.

The Chair noted that she received positive feedback from councillors about the event and this underlines the need to do more to reflect the positive work that is ongoing in Herefordshire. It was recommended that an annual event is held.

Resolved that:

a)    The Health and Wellbeing Board is invited to reflect on the conference and any lessons that can be learned to inform future events.

b)    An annual Health and Wellbeing event is held.
