The focus of this year’s APHR is ‘Healthy Ageing: Working together to improve wellbeing in later life’.

The concept of healthy ageing captures the broad range of factors that influence the health and wellbeing of older adults, including the wider determinants of wellbeing. This year’s annual report summarises what we know about older adults living in Camden and Islington, and their health, wellbeing and quality of life.

The report considers the current challenges and opportunities under each of the following four key themes:
• Quality of life, including being connected and feeling valued
• Environments that promote and support healthy ageing
• Key life transitions into and during older age
• Accessible, responsive and joined up health and care services when needed.

A Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is a way local authorities, the NHS and other public sector partners work together to understand the current and future health and wellbeing needs of the local population and identify future priorities. The JSNA is a statutory responsibility of the Director of Public Health, Director of Children’s Services and Director of Adult Social Services.
