Making an impact through good governance: A practical guide for health and wellbeing boards


This guide is a follow-up to the guide by the Local Government Association (LGA) and the Association of Democratic Services Officers published in 2013, as health and wellbeing boards (HWBs) were being set up.

Now that boards are fully operational, their emphasis is on being as effective as possible in their statutory and influencing roles.

The guide is intended to be of practical use to members of HWBs in all of the membership categories: councils, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), local Healthwatch and voluntary sector members, representatives of NHS England who sit on HWBs, and additional non-statutory members.
