In previous editions of our newsletter (December 2024), we shared the JSNA Citywide Profile and six local area profiles. This month, we’re spotlighting one of these local area profiles: Binley and Willenhall. See the infographic below for a snapshot of some of the key findings.
The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) gathers evidence about the health and wellbeing of Coventry residents. Its aim is to help leaders across health and care sectors understand and work together to improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Coventry.
The Insight Team has developed localised reports that capture what life is like in different parts of Coventry. These reports celebrate the strengths within each community while also highlighting challenges. They are informed by data, statistics, community feedback, and on-the-ground experiences in these neighbourhoods.
