Choosing Health in Medway

The purpose of this report is to give a picture of the health of the people of Medway and highlight specific issues for those at higher risk of ill health, for example, local health inequalities. This information can then be used to shape services which will ensure effective action is taken which in turn ensures services are aimed at those most at risk. In following years the report will be used to check progress in improving local health and reducing health inequalities.

This report is important for all those who can make a difference to the health of local people and is especially aimed at the local NHS and Medway Council. It can be used by services to think about the health issues they affect and what they are doing that improves health or at least minimises any harm. More widely, the Annual Public Health Report could be used by anyone in Medway to understand local health issues and then think about what they can do to promote better health for themselves, their families and their communities.
