In Partnership - Promoting Health through Strategic Partnership in Local Government in SWAHS
Sydney West Area Health Service
Abstract
Local Government is an important and rapidly developing setting for addressing urban planning and regeneration, community and social planning to influence NSW Health's major prevention priorities of injurious falls among older people, tobacco control and obesity. Well-developed partnerships within this setting are a key to sustainability and success. Conducting an appropriate formal needs assessment, development of robust partnership agreements and establishment of agreed governance structures are demonstrating effectiveness. The SWAHS model provides a blueprint for other AHS in developing and maintaining sustainable partnerships within this setting.
This project won the 2007 NSW Health Awards, Building Regional and other Partnerships for Health category.
