What happens next

So far, Healthier Together 2040 has been focused on health discussions with patients and health professionals, analysing existing health data, and identifying population groups most in need of health and care support in future who may not be getting it now.

In the next phase, Healthier Together 2040 will look more closely at these different groups and communities, to map out what changes are needed and how these can best be delivered while giving people as much choice as possible.

Starting by looking at the working age population, a series of in-depth workshops in Spring 2025 will:

  • set out future options and impacts, agree goals, and how progress will be measured
  • identify current good practice and where change is needed first
  • spot opportunities at a very local level but also across the whole of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire
  • ensure the right leadership is in place to ensure Healthier Together 2040 is supported and delivered.
