Coventry and Warwickshire Launch Refreshed Health Protection Strategy 2025-2030

Coventry and Warwickshire have launched the refreshed Health Protection Strategy 2025-2030. The document identifies four priorities that will guide work by the City Council’s public health team and NHS colleagues.

Four priorities guide local services

The priorities cover STIs and blood-borne viruses, immunisations, reducing environmental health harms, and tuberculosis. These areas determine how prevention programmes and response measures reach households across Coventry neighbourhoods. Residents encounter these services through clinics, school programmes, and home assessments that form part of routine public health delivery.

Tuberculosis cases in Coventry are rising and mirror national trends. The strategy records active collaboration between the City Council’s public health team and NHS colleagues to address the increase. This work affects screening, treatment pathways, and contact tracing that residents may access through local GP practices and hospital services.

Neighbourhood teams and daily access

A new initiative for neighbourhood health teams in Coventry is being developed. The aim is to transform child care and improve access to multidisciplinary services closer to where families live. This approach influences how parents arrange appointments, manage time away from work, and coordinate care for children without repeated travel across the city.

The strategy document links these changes to existing health and wellbeing plans. It sets out how the four priorities will shape service planning in the coming years. Local residents will see the effects through the availability of immunisation sessions, environmental checks, and specialist support for infectious disease management.

Implementation will be carried forward by the City Council’s public health team working with NHS partners. The documents indicate that progress will be tracked through the Coventry Health and Wellbeing Board. Residents can follow updates through the council’s published reports on the same platform that hosts the strategy.
