NEPHU Population Health Catchment Plan Part 1 (2023-2025)
The NEPHU Population Health Catchment Plan aims to guide collaborative efforts and prioritise health promotion and prevention initiatives to support communities in living healthier lives – now and into the future.
Our Population Health Catchment Plan sets out the priorities and potential actions for prevention and health promotion over the next two years from 2023-2025, and articulates:
- A framework, including principles and approaches, to guide how NEPHU, partners and stakeholders work together to align and prioritse health and wellbeing outcomes for the community.
- A population profile including demographic, environmental and burden of disease information for the catchment
- A model for collaborative and collective action that enhances coordination of effort.
Developed in partnership with key stakeholders and informed by a multi-stage planning process – which included a review of the prevention landscape and consultation with over 40 stakeholder groups, – the plan identifies two initial priority areas for collective action:
- Increasing healthy eating
- Improving sexual and reproductive health.
These health priorities are directly connected to preventing avoidable chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer.
The development of this plan is guided by the principles of collaboration, equity, and empowerment, and informed by various approaches – such as collective impact, evidence-informed strategies, and intersectionality.
NEPHU Population Health Catchment Plan Evaluation Strategy 2023-2025
The Evaluation Strategy was developed with the NEPHU Population Health Catchment Plan Steering Group and Priority Area Program Control Groups.
The Strategy is comprised of three principal components:
- A framework for evaluating the overarching NEPHU Population Health Catchment Plan
- A generic framework for evaluating Priority Area Action Plans, which is accompanied by a supporting toolkit
- A guide for the evaluation of individual initiatives within Priority Area Action Plans
Evaluation strategy toolkit
The Evaluation Strategy is supported by NEPHU Catchment Plan Evaluation Toolkit. The toolkit contains a resource list with links to a range of high-quality resources that contain broader evaluation information, examples and ideas.
Population Health Catchment Planning Reports
The Population Health Catchment Planning Reports outline the process undertaken in determining priorities for place-based primary and secondary prevention activity focused on preventable chronic disease and modifiable risk factors.
