Format: Lecture

Stream: Population and Public Health

In this session, you’ll hear from two projects that have worked with untapped resources in the community and third sector to build strong relationships and improve outcomes.

(Part A) Connecting Care for Children and Young People: gathering everyone’s strengths for health

What should we invest in now, to get the biggest return? This session is about untapped potential, of many kinds, to improve health and wellbeing. The session describes a model that connects the resources of the NHS with the resources in our communities: professionals and citizens together generating important benefits. When patients, the public and professionals learn to trust each other, they work together in a stronger way.

(Part B) Co-creation with the third sector – improving mental health in local communities

The program Safe Senior Life aimed to address the triple aim of improving mental health, increasing experience of care and reducing cost by creating sustainable interventions. This session will describe how volunteers from the third sector and local government community health services co-created initiatives to increase mental health for senior citizens.
