Our Somerset Strategy and Joint Forward Plan
Our Somerset is a partnership between the NHS, Somerset Council, and our partners in the VCFSE sector. We work in collaboration to support people to live healthy independent lives in thriving communities.
Our Strategy
We want all people of all ages who live and work in Somerset to live healthy and fulfilling lives. We want people to live well for longer, and for Somerset to be a fantastic place to raise families, create employment, and support one another to be the best they can be.
We want communities in Somerset to be supported to create positive and sustainable futures for all people.
Our Health and Care Strategy and Joint Forward Plan set out how we will build on the foundations already laid, and is our commitment to putting the person at the centre of our thinking and our actions.
