What is the Healthier Doncaster Theme Group?
The Healthier Doncaster Theme Group was formerly known as Doncaster Health and Wellbeing Partnership. Its initial role was to act as an umbrella group for the health and social care organisations in Doncaster. With the introduction of the local strategic partnership (LSP), it also took on the role of a Key Strategic Partnership under the former Doncaster Strategic Partnership (DSP) within the DSP family of partnerships. Following a fundamental review of Doncaster’s partnership structure in 2007, the Health and Wellbeing Partnership became the Healthier Doncaster Theme Group which is one of four strategic Theme Groups to support the work of the DtS Board.
Representatives from the health sector, local authority sector and voluntary / community sector chair the Board on an annual rotational basis.
The Healthier Doncaster Theme Group maintains a strategic overview of health and social care issues in Doncaster and acts as the link to the Doncaster Discover the Spirit Board for the health and social care community.
The Partnership’s strength, in health and social care terms, is that it is the only forum where all the major players of the various organisations come together. That places it in an ideal position to guide the strategic direction of activity in this area and achieve consensus on the way forward in maximising the health and well being of the population.
