North West Leicestershire Community Health and Wellbeing Plan

We're working with NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to understand the district’s health and wellbeing priorities to give people who live and work in North West Leicestershire the opportunity to live happy and healthy lives.

To do this, we have developed a Community Health and Wellbeing Plan (CHWP) for North West Leicestershire, which will be used to inform the Leicestershire Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JHWS) and respond to priorities at a neighbourhood level. 

As part of the plan we consulted stakeholders and people who live and work in the district to help us identify key priorities and issues.

In February 2023, we engaged with stakeholders and identified nine key areas, which also supported local data from teams working with and listening to residents in the district.

The nine priorities include:

• Cancer prevention
• Hip fracture prevention
• Dementia
• Breastfeeding
• Carers support
• Obesity/overweight
• Mental health
• Learning disabilities / special educational needs
• Diabetes.

These priorities have been split up over a three-year period as follows:

• Year 1: Cancer prevention, hip fracture prevention, obesity / overweight and mental health
• Year 2: Breast feeding, dementia, learning disabilities
• Year 3: Carers support, diabetes
