Living Well survey closes as plans to forge adult social care strategy begins

Together with its residents and partners, East Sussex County Council is developing a long-term plan, its strategy, for adult social care.

To understand what really matters to local people, the adult social care team conducted surveys for those people who receive support through East Sussex County Council and other residents who need care and support.

The latest survey, titled ‘Living Well in East Sussex’, closed on 18 September. Thanks to everyone who took the time to share and fill in the surveys.

The surveys are the starting point for creating a strategy that will set the direction of adult social care for everyone who has – or will have – care and support needs within the county, the projects and services that support them and their carers and families.

Analysis of survey results has just begun. Detailed work is taking place to identify themes and discussion points to take forward within focus groups and via one-to-one interviews.

Talking with East Sussex adult social care commissioning staff, independent sector care providers, NHS colleagues and wider stakeholders will follow, informed by what local people have said about their priorities.

Exploring the impact of COVID-19 on people living with obesity

A new study being undertaken by University College London (UCL) and University of Leeds is exploring perceptions, attitudes and actions of people living with obesity to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The researchers, led by Dr Adrian Brown of UCL & Dr Stuart Flint of University of Leeds, are conducting these surveys due to the unprecedented and rapidly changing impact that the COVID-19 outbreak is having on the way people live.

There are two surveys; one for children and young people, which looks at overweight and obesity; and another for adults (18+) which focuses on obesity.  If you are unsure of your weight category you can find it out using the NHS BMI calculator.
