The ministerial priority programme called “This is Our Health” is seeking to shape a shared “health and care promise” between the public and the system—one where:

• Services protect and invest in what people need most
• Individuals and communities are supported to contribute to their own health and wellbeing

It focuses on the everyday things that keep people well, like connection, movement, purpose and community; alongside ensuring the health system can focus on those areas where professional care is essential.

“This is Our Health” is more than a consultation, it is an opportunity to influence a long-term shift towards a healthier, more connected and resilient society. By working together, we can move beyond traditional engagement to genuine partnership, ensuring that communities are not only heard, but are central to shaping the future of health and wellbeing.

Your leadership, networks and commitment to communities are vital. By getting involved, you are helping to create a shared vision for health that reflects real lives, real experiences and real potential.
