The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) looks at the physical and mental health needs of people living in South Tees. It helps us plan and provide local health, wellbeing, and care services that meet the needs of our residents.
We know that people’s lives and circumstances affect their health and wellbeing. Things like housing, money worries, and work can all play a part. The JSNA looks at these factors and how they affect our communities.
Our work is shaped by 9 ‘missions’. Each mission focuses on a major local challenge. To make real change, partners need to work together, share ideas, and use resources wisely.
Together, the 21 sections of the JSNA cover the whole journey of life: from birth, through childhood and adulthood, and into older age.

Exploring local health information and data
Public Health South Tees data dashboard
Fingertips is a collection of public health information, run by the Department of Health and Social Care. It brings together different health and wellbeing profiles (collections of facts and figures about people’s health).
With Fingertips, you can:
look at data for different areas
compare with the regional or England average
download data to use locally
Our Public Health South Tees data dashboard gives you a simpler, more focused version of Fingertips. It shows the most important information all in one place, in a way that is easier to understand. The dashboard is linked directly to the Fingertips website and is updated every week.
All the information on Fingertips is public, so you can use and share anything from this dashboard freely.
Public Health South Tees Strategy
The Public Health Strategy is our plan to improve health and wellbeing, reduce health inequalities (the unfair differences in health), and prevent illness across South Tees.
The strategy explains the programme framework we have developed. This sets out what we want to achieve and how we will do it over the next three years.
The Strategy sets out a shared approach across Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland. It’s written in two parts, one for each council, to show how public health funding is used in each area.
