About this event
Community-led and person-centred approaches play a crucial role in improving individuals’ and communities’ health and wellbeing, offering unique solutions that are more tailored to their specific needs. If the shifts from sickness to prevention and moving care closer to home are to be successful, stronger recognition of the role communities can play, and appropriate mechanisms for them to work in partnership with integrated care systems, their local health system and local authorities at the place and neighbourhood level, is needed.
Over two days, this conference will explore what is required to achieve change so that communities can accrue more influence in driving improvements in the health and care outcomes that matter most to them. We will hear case study examples about the challenges of working in a community-led way and how these challenges were overcome to unlock the power of community-led approaches to health.
We will also consider changes that are happening in the wider context that will have an impact on this way of working, including devolution and an increased focus on the development of a neighbourhood health service, and the opportunities these could bring.
Through case studies, panel discussions and an interactive ‘camera on’ session, this conference will explore:
- how the growing focus on neighbourhood working could offer an opportunity to harness the power of community-led approaches
- changes that might have an impact on delivering community-led approaches, including the 10 Year Health Plan, plans for devolution and local government reorganisation
- where community-led approaches are working well to deliver meaningful change, and how this was achieved
- the need for a radical shift in the public sector to move from a ‘do to’ to a ‘do with’ approach
- overcoming challenges to community-led approaches, including how to make them inclusive.
