@HelenBevan Using Double Diamond on Healthy Homes system change - we should speak.

[Michael Wood @NHSLocalGrowth]

Lots to agree with in this blog on Healthy Homes. I know the team behind this work in Halton 👇. This issue matters for many parts of the country - let's follow and support their progress. https://t.co/tgvoDNyeYi

@ethos_graham @BenWealthy1 @LA_Charlesworth One of the biggest challenges to the idea-to-action aim is bringing the necessary system players together to it happen. Unlike the past though, we now have some great tech available at the intersect of homes & health. Ultimately this tech will enable’ the whole people process.

@ethos_graham @LA_Charlesworth @wearenewlocal Embedding community constructs like these in Healthy Home programmes is designed to support changes in ‘system behaviour’ right from the outset. As @ethos_graham suggests ‘you get what you measure’!

[John King @Ethos_john]

@KevinLaveryNHS Had a few thoughts on the ICB plan over the weekend - as they relate to innovation in the prevention space. Be in touch.

@stevensenior read your 'pubulation' piece. Without going back to JS Mill, all depends on how new ICSs communicate desired outcomes. Thet will drive everything else - including 'definitions'. One will "get what one measures".

@davidjbuck @NHSEngland @TobyLewis_NHS Is David Buck still at Kings Fund? He has been around this space for years. But never got any tactions. We may consider NHS E in Q 2 with/without MW. Back on Kings - what grab their thinking is not thinking really but case studies.

Whilst our project won’t fix this hopefully it will contribute to understanding the system causes, the changes needed and actions we can take to make an impact…

[John King @Ethos_john]

Well said

[Graham DeAth @ethos_graham]

We need to fundementally change the way we look at funding… if investing in preventing poor/ill health in social housing releases benefits to the NHS through reduction in treating how is that reconciled?

[Innovate UK @innovateuk]

Exciting progress made today with the #LiverpoolCityRegion Partnership Agreement launch.

Indro Mukerjee @innovateuk speaks on the importance of this partnership agreement for the national innovation landscape.

If recent research [NHSC] indicates that for every £1 spent on the treatment of individual patient is worth £4, and [York University] indicates examples of up to £15 worth returned on broad public health preventative initiatives…

[Graham DeAth @ethos_graham]

If investment on treatment of individual patients delivers these returns then what would investmemt on prevention of populations poor health return … just small things which enable people to work even a little more because they feel or are able to!

[Association of Directors of Public Health (ADPH) @ADPHUK]

"80% of health outcomes have nothing to do with healthcare."

"Local authorities are responsible for many of the services that have a real impact on...health."

"...budgets for these...services continue to be squeezed."

@SebRees1 @reformthinktank - the prize is indeed immense

[Ben Wealthy @BenWealthy1]

The NHS and health are not the same thing. A good health service is essential to improving health + providing care and dignity. BUT, creating a healthy population also means good education, homes, incomes, jobs, parks, transport, air. Get this and change is possible

[Graham DeAth @ethos_graham]

Does this not start with understanding the causes why people miss appointments? … then look for examples from other industries as to how they effectively communicate with their ‘customers’ … other industries have found solutions to their challenges that could be adopted!

[Jo Bibby @JoBibbyTHF]

✨✨Hot off the press !!

Brand new tool-kit to help people communicate the wider determinants of health and engage the public in action needed to reduce health inequalities.

Great collaboration between @FrameWorksInst @louisemarsha11 and many more!

[Graham DeAth @ethos_graham]

Before asking this question is the prior question: do you recognise the fact that you are in a system?

[Graham DeAth @ethos_graham]

With 80% of health outcomes the result of those ‘root causes’…
