Healthier communities

Who are we?

The Healthier Communities Service is part of the drive to tackle health inequalities and improve health and well-being across Nottinghamshire.

The service works at a strategic level to narrow the health-gap between disadvantaged groups and communities across Nottinghamshire, as well as improving health and well-being in the general population.

We work across all departments of Nottinghamshire County Council and with partners in public health.

We have a direct input into the Local Area Agreement, Corporate Health group and Health Partnerships across the county.

What are we doing?

Our current areas of focus include:

• tobacco control
• tackling obesity
• avoidable injuries
• tackling alcohol misuse
• improving sexual health
• improving mental health.

For more information about our work and recent projects, download a copy of our latest newsletter “In Health”.
