Sheffield’s Health and Wellbeing Board is a group of local GPs, local councillors, a representative of Sheffield citizens, and senior managers in the NHS and the local authority, all of whom seek to make local government and local health services better for local people and to deliver a single approach to improving the health and wellbeing of Sheffield residents.
The Board has a formal public meeting, normally four times per year, interspersed with engagement events and strategy development meetings.
