Using NHS facilities differently for better health and community resilience
Event Information
About this event
This webinar will explore the vision for a better use of NHS facilities to improve community health and resilience. Best-practice examples will be discussed during the session, not only focusing on the successes but also the challenges that can be encountered in the co-location of primary care services with community services and social prescribing.
First, speakers will explore the opportunities of co-location of services, the challenges and some solutions to overcome the barriers. The discussion will be open for all to participate, with the aim to think about actual actions to make things change, both on a local level, and eventually on a systemic level.
This webinar will focus on existing NHS estate, and a follow-up session will be held in the coming months to concentrate on building new health and well-being hubs.
A more detailed programme will be released in the coming weeks.
