Across the North East and North Cumbria organisations have come together to established a Housing, Health, and Care Programme to build on the collaborative work already underway across our region to tackle and mobilise on this important issue.
The programme is the region’s sector led improvement initiative focused on delivering better, more integrated housing, care, and support so that people can be healthy, live well, and stay independent in their own home.
The programme is launching its first in a series of monthly webinars for people working across health, housing and care to learn, share best practice and design solutions together.
Its first session will explore the critical role of data in addressing health inequalities and improving housing services and is hosted by the Northern Housing Consortium.
The webinar on 14 January from 10am to 12pm will offer opportunities for people to come together to discuss innovative approaches and share experiences. As well as develop actionable strategies for using data to target housing interventions more effectively and promote better health outcomes. Speakers will be confirmed soon.
This session is relevant to anyone working across health, housing and social care and specifically working in the field of data and housing and health services.
The session will be held on Microsoft Teams and a link will be shared 3-5 days before the event, to book your place please email [email protected]
Please feel free to forward this invite to relevant colleagues.
The Housing, Health and Care Programme has been co-created by the North East branch of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS), the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, the Northern Housing Consortium, and the TEC Services Association (TSA); with many other partners involved too.
The programme has recently launched a five-year roadmap which sets out ambitions to improve housing, health and care for local communities. It has been developed from a recent review by the Housing Learning and Improvement Network (LIN) which highlights the region’s pressing housing needs, and is based on insights and feedback from events, roundtables and the programme’s community of practice.
The roadmap is now being shared with organisations across the region as they look to develop more detailed plans to deliver ambitions and change. Read more about the programme and a summary of the baseline review and five year plan here.
