  1. Newcastle Future Needs Assessment Wellbeing and health open forum, 13 October 2011

  2. What is NFNA? • A shared basis for identifying policy priorities, underpinning decision-making and targeting resources • Supported by definitive, shared data and evidence • For Newcastle, not just Newcastle City Council

  3. What will it include? • Everything – but focused on issues we can collectively influence • A wide range of information to assist the process of understanding what's happening and developing priorities together (focused on the Local Information System) • Thought processes and applied experience and judgement – the essence of needs assessment is not the evidence, it’s what we do with the evidence

  4. What are the benefits? • Proportionately greater benefits for genuine priorities • Information, evidence and thinking shared across partners in new ways • Better understanding of roles and impacts of all partners • Structured use of qualitative information • New relationships between actions and impacts • More than the sum of its parts

  5. How will it be structured? • Based on a “life course” approach to ensure it is people focused • Set in the context of place – neighbourhoods, wards, the city • Tiered approach • Cross-cutting, headline level • Service-specific, operational level • Web-based with downloadable products

  6. Council PCT Clinical Commissioning Groups Universities Newcastle College VCS Police Fire & Rescue Newcastle Partnership Who will be involved?

  7. What could the VCS contribute? • Data and information • Community intelligence • Case studies and stories • Experience of what actually works (or doesn’t work) and “ground truth”

  8. How could the VCS benefit? • Improved access to evidence, analysis and assessment • Improved understanding of VCS role and contribution via case studies etc • “Upstream” involvement in prioritising and shaping interventions • Through contribution of evidence • Through membership of the NFNA Board

  9. What is the timetable? • Relatively long-term • Variable by area of activity • Existing needs assessment work • Statutory requirements • Initial products should begin to be available spring 2012

  10. Group discussion • What lessons from the JSNA process can we apply to NFNA to help enable VCS involvement? • How would VCS organisations prefer to get involved? • What would people like to get out of NFNA?
