In 2022, we published Our Future Health – an overview of key health and wellbeing issues and opportunities for our Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire population.
This report is a brief update on population health intelligence and insights in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire using existing data sources. Much of the content and key messages in Our Future Health continue to be just as relevant now, with this update being focused on what has changed since the original report in 2022.
The datasets informing this updated report span different time periods; however, the latest available data has been used throughout. This review, conducted three years after the original publication, compares the updated findings with the earlier report to assess how trends have shifted over time.
Taken together, the two reports provide an integrated overview of health and wellbeing needs among the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire population. They are based on a synthesis of intelligence from various sources, including local authority Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNAs), Population Health Management (PHM) work using our system-wide dataset (SWD), and routinely available data.
