About us

The JSNA supports the wider health and care system including the development of the East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Strategy

In East Sussex we have created a Research Collaborative Hub (RCH) which is a 12-month partnership between the University of Brighton (UoB) and East Sussex County Council (ESCC).

There are a range of resources on this site, organised by topic. These are some of the main types.

Needs Assessment

In-depth look at the health and wellbeing issues facing a specific population. Produced in partnership with experts from a range of organisations.

A needs assessment should use evidence to identify:

  • the level of need in a population and how well those needs are met
  • effectiveness of current services and support
  • recommendations to meet needs and use resources effectively

Local Briefing
