@AlanStout19 Think we can work in partnership, community with primary care Alan. Through models of care like IMPACTAgewell working with primary care GP Partners we have shown we can increase appropriate access to GP services, improve health & wellbeing outcomes & reduce health inequalities

Health isn’t an individual medical issue, it's a social; political issue. That means population health improves as a result of collective not individual agency. This in turn means health improvement is about community building not signposting, referring or linking of individuals.

The first Health Equity Network event in Belfast, Northern Ireland was full of fruitful discussion, debate, speakers and participatory group sessions.

What can integrated care systems in England learn from the devolved nations? Our @ImpAdultCare #Demonstrator report shows how #assetbasedcommunitydevelopment approaches like @IMPACTAgewell should be replicated elsewhere @meaapni @sashenry https://t.co/fsEjaZ6xFW via @nhsconfed

Health is not just an individual medical issue; it is a social and political issue. This implies that the health of the population improves as a result of collective, not individual, action. Consequently, improving health is about building communities, rather than just providing directions, referrals, or linking individuals to activities or projects. Feeling connected to one's neighborhood, having a strong community and community control are essential drivers for overall well-being. Therefore, there is a need for much more emphasis on the importance of and investment in community life👇
