Population Health refers to improving the health of an entire population, improving the physical and mental health outcomes and wellbeing of people, whilst reducing health inequalities within and across a defined population. It includes action to reduce the occurrence of ill-health, including addressing wider determinants of health.

This involves three interdependent pillars:

Infrastructure: the structure of the Bassetlaw Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) (described here), and a collaborative partnership approach (see here) ensures that partners are involved, and support and challenge each other, in all elements of population health improvement;

Intelligence: Partners collate their insights and data at place and primary care networks levels, and by population, to form a collective understanding of the needs of Bassetlaw people;

Interventions: Interventions are planned and analysed using a population segmentation approach.
