Partnership Map

This ‘Partnership Map’ shows how organisations and networks working together across Devon. It will highlight how different strategies and initiatives are connected to the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JHWS), helping us identify overlaps and prevent duplication. By mapping these relationships, we can demonstrate where alignment is possible and where collaboration can be strengthened. This will make it easier for partners to see the bigger picture and work more effectively as a joined-up system.

This chart sets out the overarching organisational and partnership strategies for organisations responsible for health, care, wellbeing and the building blocks of health in the Devon system. It sets out the strategies, their principles and priorities, and how they connect to the principles and priorities in the JHWS.
