Health, wellbeing and independence

Health and Wellbeing logoThe Health and Well-Being Theme Group brings together people from the Coventry Teaching Primary Care Trust, University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire, Coventry City Council and other partners to achieve a number of outcomes:

Long-term outcomes:

• People in Coventry will enjoy healthier lives which will contribute towards them living longer in the future
and being able to lead independent lives
• There will be reduced health inequalities between communities

Short-term priorities:

• Promote healthy lifestyles to reduce the number of people who smoke, encourage good nutrition and
regular exercise, reduce alcohol consumption and the use of harmful drugs and improve mental health
and emotional well-being
• Get more children, young people and adults involved in physical activities
• Improve sexual health and reduce the under 18 conception rate
• Develop and implement an Obesity Strategy which is delivered and coordinated by a range of
organisations
• Promote and extend the range of ways in which older people and adults with disabilities can have
personal choice and control over their health and social care
• Increase the independence of older people by reducing the numbers of emergency admissions to
hospital and reducing the time they have to spend in hospital if they are admitted
• Provide effective drug and alcohol treatment services that result in positive outcomes
