New report from FrameWorks UK out today: ➡ People are increasingly aware of... how things like low paid work and a lack of social supports are holding us back from health. ➡ 72% of people supported a long-term whole Government commitment to improving health.
REVEALED: how we think about health in Britain is changing. Britain is sick. Because of things like poor housing, low-paid, insecure work and lack of local, healthy, affordable food, where we live can cut our lives short by as much as 16 years. But the way most of us usually think about health is that it’s of our own making. Health is seen as being about what we eat, whether we drink or smoke and exercise. The context of how our surroundings shape our health has been missing from view. New research from our Moving Mindsets project - funded by The Health Foundation and Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) - reveals that is changing. More collective mindsets on health are emerging, and people are increasingly aware of how context shapes health as they see that things like low paid work and a lack of social supports are holding us back from health. The research also shows overwhelming public backing for government action on health - 72% of people supported a long-term whole government commitment to improving health. Three ways advocates and public health professionals can make the most of this moment to secure greater political action on health: #1 Position public health asks as for the national good #2 Continue to explain how society shapes health to reinforce this thinking #3 Be clear our government has a robust mandate for action to reduce health inequalities Read the full research and discover more tips: https://lnkd.in/gxn8stKk

"Everybody knows that prevention is better than cure." Lord Darzi The NHS is not – and should not be held - responsible for the wider determinants of health. Existing public health networks need to be adequately resourced and funded so our communities can support people and prevent such high levels of demand for NHS treatment. 👀 Read our response in full ➡ bit.ly/3XoAZ4h
