Over the past year, we have been working on a CPAR (Community Participatory Action Research) project funded by the NHS, focusing on Health Inequalities in our community. We are pleased to invite you to a community event where we will be sharing the outcomes of this research.
Location: Spark Community Space
Date: Thursday, 6th November
Time: 3:00–7:00 PM
There will be three presentations, one from each group, each repeated during two time slots:
Session 1: 3:00–5:00 PM
Session 2: 5:00–7:00 PM
You are welcome to attend either session, listen to the findings, and engage in conversations about what the Portsmouth community has voiced regarding their experiences with health inequality.
Presentations will include:
Spark Community Space
“Examining the Alienation of Older Adults due to Increasing Digitalisation and the Challenges in Accessing Personalised Healthcare”
[A short film featuring voices from our community, telling their stories in their own words.]
Portsmouth Mediation Service
'Echoes of Conflict: The Hidden Impact of conflict on health and wellbeing.'
[Join Portsmouth Mediation Service as we share powerful stories and fresh research into how conflict affects health and wellbeing in our city. From survey insights to lived experiences, discover why unresolved conflict is more than a disagreement — it’s a health issue. Together, let’s imagine a Restorative Portsmouth where conflict is handled with hope, respect, and resilience.]
Work Better Innovation
Migrant Women’s Barriers to Accessing Menopause Care: Insights from Portsmouth
[Findings show menopause is stigmatized, with women experiencing isolation, misinformation, and inconsistent medical guidance.]
The participants from each groups research project will also be in attendance, so it will be a brilliant opportunity to get feedback from Portsmouth residents, and also champion community-led research in our island city.
We hope you can join us in learning from and with the community, and in continuing the conversation to create a more inclusive and multidisciplinary healthcare system across Portsmouth.
We’re keen to ensure that our research findings contribute towards positive change in Portsmouth. Join us to find and create the opportunities to take action together so that voices in our community are heard and responded to.
