Islington’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment
The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is an assessment of health inequalities carried out by the NHS in conjunction with the local council. It aims to identify the critical health inequalities existing in the borough and provide a framework for commissioning services. The JSNA addresses health inequalities in a holistic way looking at two areas, ‘health and wellbeing’ and ‘risk factors and wider determinants’.
