Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)
A Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is a collection of documents, data, local knowledge, community insight and other types of evidence to look at and identify health and wellbeing needs within Tameside. This gives an overview and also recommendations around the work and services required in the area. This JSNA is a statutory (compulsory) requirement (from the Health and Social Care Act 2012) that all Health and Wellbeing boards produce and that it is updated regularly to reflect the changes in Tameside. There is however, no set format that a JSNA has to take, as long as it has the information and content around Health and Wellbeing in the area.
Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA)
A Pharmaceutical Needs assessment (PNA) is a current picture of pharmacy provision in Tameside and identifies whether any new pharmacies are required. Similar to the JSNA, the PNA is also a statutory requirement of the Health & Wellbeing Board.Both the JSNA and PNA are developed jointly by local health & social care and wider partners, including the local authority, Integrated Care Board, emergency services, Healthwatch, the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise sector (VCFSE) and through public voice and consultations. Together these partners provide a detailed picture of the health and care needs of the local population, usually focusing on specific topics. This information is used to identify actions that local agencies will need to take to improve the wellbeing of individuals and communities across the borough. Additionally both the JSNA and PNA contain resources and recommendations which inform decision making across all local services in Tameside and is especially important when looking at which services to provide and establish.
Although the documents are mainly used by services within Tameside, both the JSNA and PNA can be a useful tool to understand Tameside’s Health and Wellbeing; that is designed to be accessed by everyone. Below you will find a range of sections and resources which make up Tameside’s JSNA. This is based around a summary and then specific, more in-depth needs assessments around key areas relevant to health and wellbeing. There are also links to data and information dashboards based in Tableau (a data displaying piece of software), which highlight the most recent information available.
You can also find the PNA below, including links to the full document as well as the consultation papers.
