NICE – Strategic Partnerships

Who should take action?

  • Health and wellbeing boards
  • Local authority chief executive officers
  • Local clinical commissioning groups

Actions

  • Health and wellbeing boards and local authority chief executive officers should encourage partners to provide funding and other resources for activities that make it as easy as possible for people to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. This includes, for example, activities to improve local recreation opportunities, community safety or access to food that can contribute to a healthier diet. Partners should be encouraged to provide funding and resources beyond one financial or political cycle and have clear plans for sustainability.
  • Health and wellbeing boards should work in partnership with local clinical commissioning groups to ensure a coherent approach to tackling obesity that spans both prevention and treatment. 
  • Health and wellbeing boards should work with partners to optimise the positive impact (and mitigate any adverse impacts) of local policies on obesity levels. This includes strategies and policies that may have an indirect impact, for example, those favouring car use over other modes of transport, or decisions to remove park wardens, that affect people's use of parks.
  • Health and wellbeing boards, through their performance infrastructure, should regularly (for example, annually) assess local partners' work to tackle obesity (taking account of any relevant evidence from monitoring and evaluation). In particular, they should ensure clinical commissioning group operational plans support the obesity agenda within the health and wellbeing strategy.
