You might already be aware that a partnership between the health and housing sector can be beneficial for communities but you may not be sure what that looks like in practice. You may have an idea of what you want to do but lack the knowledge of the housing sector to get the ball rolling and to ensure your plans will come to fruition.
- What do you think of when you ‘housing’?
- Do you know how the sector works?
- How are housing, health inequalities and patient pathways interlinked?
- And why should working collaboratively with the housing sector matter to you?
- What are the social value benefits of health and housing collaborations?
This webinar would be beneficial for those working either at an operational or strategic level in clinical services, where the availability of and access to good quality housing and wrap around support plays a key role in patient outcomes.
