The Wellbeing for Life Board chose to create a Wellbeing for Life strategy that aimed to:
- communicate priorities and intentions to those who are not directly involved, including building necessary background knowledge
- provide a framework (including a shared language) for collective action around wellbeing and health in the city
- provide a driver within which Newcastle City Council, NHS Newcastle West Clinical Commissioning Group, NHS Newcastle North and East Commissioning Group and NHS England develop their commissioning plans
- provide a driver within which all partners frame their own organisational priorities and workplans.
The Wellbeing for Life strategy fulfills the statutory requirement for a Health and Wellbeing strategy.
The first version of the Wellbeing for Life strategy was agreed by the Board in September 2013 and was subsequently endorsed by Newcastle City Council and approved by the Joint Governing Bodies of Newcastle's two Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs).
