The report reflects on how Brighton & Hove responded to COVID-19 and identifies lessons about partnership working, data use, health inequalities, communication, economic resilience and vaccination.

Recommendation
To review and refresh the city's partnership structures; make public health data easier to find and use; ensure local programmes prioritise communities with the greatest needs; continue developing local partnerships and community involvement; systematically collect community insight and feedback; and link good health with a strong and fair economy.
