Excellence in Healthcare Collaboration and Partnerships

Summary of work

Health and Well-being at Home is a unique, ground-breaking public health initiative that delivers multi-format health education directly to the communities and homes of those most in need. 

The concept… 

…is unique The consultancies have partnered with bpha, a leading provider of social housing, to prove the benefits of social landlord-delivered public health campaigns that target their communities and tenants who are known to suffer greatest health inequalities and the poorest health. 

…is revolutionary Never before has a social housing provider partnered with the industry to deliver this education – being fully evaluated for health gain and reduced healthcare utilisation – to its tenants. 

…is achievable Social landlords have well-established channels for tenant communication, and are respected and trusted by them. 

…promises a better future By demonstrating the benefits of a public-private partnership between social housing providers and industry, we can radically alter the way some of the poorest in our society are empowered to improve their own – and their community’s – health and well-being. 

Health and Well-being at Home has successfully completed phase one. Given its pioneering nature, the rigour of approach and the significant achievements to date, we believe it is suitable for a submission to Communiqué.

Judges comments
