Needs assessment
The HealthUnlocked Needs Assessment is a simple but powerful tool that helps you take stock of your health and wellbeing. It’s designed to support self-management by highlighting areas where you might need more support—so you can take steps to improve how you feel and function day to day.
The assessment asks you about your current needs across five key areas:
- Psychological & Wellbeing
- Independence & Activity
- Treatment & Care Access
- Family & Social Connections
- Information & Support
It’s non-condition specific and non-prescriptive, meaning it works for anyone, regardless of their health situation.
By completing the assessment, you can:
- Recognise and prioritise your top needs at the time of taking it
- Become more aware of what might be affecting your wellbeing
- Feel more empowered to take action and find the right support
You can take the assessment at any time here: https://healthunlocked.com/your-needs
Each time you complete it, a separate report is generated, so you can track how your needs change over time.
How does it help my community?
Community partners can request access to aggregated, anonymised insights based on completed assessments. These insights help them:
- Understand the most common needs in their community
- Improve services, support and content to better meet those needs
- Tailor communications and interventions to where they’re needed most
