Warwickshire North is a diverse community that provides a home to more than 200,000 residents. New housing developments sit alongside more traditional urban town and rural village communities and both the Bedworth and the North Warwickshire borough populations have significant numbers of older people.
In 2019, Warwickshire ranked the 121st most deprived local authorities out of 151. However, there are areas of deprivation across the county and each district or borough contains at least one LSOA (Lower Super Output Area) amongst the 30% most deprived in England. Five LSOAs in Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough and one in North Warwickshire Borough are in the 10% most deprived nationally. Given the national picture, these are areas where residents are at increased risk of health inequalities.
The population of North Warwickshire is predicted to grow by 1.6% by 2024. The age profile of the area is older than the England average and deprivation is lower. The percentage of BAME at 4.9% is lower than the English average of 13.6%.
The population of Nuneaton and Bedworth is predicted to grow by 2.3% by 2024. The age profile of the area is similar to the England average and deprivation is higher. The percentage of BAME at 10.1% is lower than the English average of 13.6%.
Warwickshire North Place Executive, Chaired by George Eliot Hospital’s Managing Director, works in conjunction with Warwickshire North Health and Wellbeing Partnership, Chaired by North Warwickshire Borough Council’s Chief Executive, in order to achieve the best outcomes across health and social care for those in our Place.
Our Place Plan sets out our vision to work together to create a stronger health and care community, ‘Helping you to help yourself, and there for you when you need us’.
Our partnerships will aim to deliver health and social care that is more integrated, proactive and responsive to the health and social care needs of our local community.
Warwickshire North also works to our Clinical Strategy, which reflects the changing landscape of health and care and represents a framework for transforming clinical care to meet the changing needs and aspirations of local communities in Warwickshire North Place.
1) Community Capacity and Rapid Response
Ambition: We will ensure that by delivering on changes, our citizens will receive the support they need to maximise their independence, wellbeing, quality of life and potential for recovery after an episode of ill health.
2) Long Term Conditions
Ambition: Our population of Warwickshire North will have access to information and experts with early intervention to support our people to manage their care and reduce their need for hospital services.
3) Mental Health
Ambition: We will take a proactive and preventative approach to reduce the long-term impact for people experiencing mental health problems in Warwickshire North. We will support individuals and families to manage their mental health and wellbeing and enable our population to access support for their mental health needs closer to home.
4) Wider Determinants of Health
Ambition: To address health inequalities in Warwickshire North. The key areas are smoking cessation, obesity and learning disabilities.
5) Unscheduled Care
Ambition: To simplify the Urgent & Emergency care offer across Warwickshire North to fully integrate the response so that the most appropriate care can be given as quickly as possible, as close as is necessary for the immediate need of the patient.
