Issue - meetings

The Board considered the report of the Director of Public Health outlining the key findings from the young people’s wellbeing programme #BeeWell.

Natalie Madden, #BeeWell Programme Manager; Phil Lovegrove, Service Development Officer, Integrated Commissioning Unit, NHS Southampton CCG; Doctor Karen Malone, GP and Clinical Director at Southampton Integrated Care Board; Rob Kurn, Chief Executive Officer, Southampton Voluntary Services; were present and with the consent of the chair addressed the Board.

In discussion it was noted that:

·  The information collected through the survey was self-reported information, that was provided through the schools that participated in the survey.  In local areas where the information collected was considered to be representative of the local population schools and partners had responded quickly to the data and collaborated on making a difference to the health outcomes identified as areas to focus on improvement.

·  Key issues highlighted included loneliness, vaping, discrimination, harassment and violent crime.

RESOLVED that the findings of the #BeeWell survery would be used in context with other data sources to identify opportunities to work collaboratively across the whole system to improve young people’s health and wellbeing.
