De ce este important
We all know that prevention is better than cure. The more we can do to look after ourselves and our families, the better it is for our health.
Like other parts of the UK, people in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire are dying earlier than they should because of preventable illness. Smoking or being overweight are the two main causes.
We are also seeing more harm from the impacts of alcohol and drugs. This includes higher hospital admissions and more alcohol-related deaths, compared to the national average. More needs to be done across our partnership to support people in a preventative and planned way through education and treatment services.
On average, women live longer than men, but spend a greater proportion of their lives in ill health. A Women’s Health Strategy for England has been published to try and address the issues, which we will support at a local level.
We know that sexually transmitted infections are on the rise and that poor sexual health tends to affect people already experiencing inequalities. Greater focus will be placed on prevention, particularly working with marginalised communities.
Strong family relationships, friendships and people’s access to things like education, quality housing, green spaces and healthy food can all have a big impact on our health and wellbeing. Some people will have better access to these things than other people which can result in health inequalities.

Health inequalities is a term used to describe unfair and avoidable differences in people’s health – such as how long a person may live, the health conditions they may experience and the care available to them.

- Introduce opt out blood borne virus testing (HIV, Hepatitis B and C) into emergency departments in our hospitals.
In this short video, Zoe Rice, tells us about the Healthier Together partnership goal to make Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire smokefree by 2030.
