We work together to look at how services and support can be improved for our communities, so they have better wellbeing and health outcomes.

Finding what matters to our communities

Every five years we undertake a regional Population Needs Assessment. This assessment guides what heath, social care and wellbeing services are needed in our community, and the range of support and services required to meet that need.

We worked with the Cwm Taf and Bridgend Public Services Boards to produce a Population Needs Assessment and Wellbeing Assessment. By working together with our residents and community groups, we can listen to and understand our communities’ needs, and then recommend to Welsh Government what health, social care and wellbeing services should be created or improved over the next five years (2023-2028).

 

 

Conversations that matter

Over a period of 100 days we worked with our partners to gather lots of data on our local population , and undertook activities to help us have meaningful conversations with our residents. We heard about our communities' experiences, current needs and aspirations for the future so we can build on services that are working well, and also work together to address the challenges.
