Wider Determinants of Health with MHS Homes Workshop ⭐️ This morning we held a workshop in collaboration with MHS Homes which bought together some of our key partners in Medway that work within the wider determinants of health, particularly around education and housing. The aim of this workshop was to start a conversation on how health can move into the Wider Determinants of Health and build a place based approach to narrow the gap of Health Inequalities in Medway. We had presentations from: - Ashley Hook on MHS Homes and Housing - Simon Cook on opportunities with Education - Nikki Teesdale on the Population Health Management Programme and social regeneration - Natalie Goldring on the Public Health data for Medway -Samantha Whybrow on how the Wider Determinants of Health affect Childhood Asthma - Dr Warren Hickson on the Living Labs programme We then had group working sessions to explore the possibilities of working in collaboration with partners within the Wider Determinants of Health, identifying some quick wins and started to identify how we take a place based approach and work in collaboration. The discussion was extremely rich and the energy was palpable, it was so refreshing to have conversations and hear from people who are so passionate about the people of Medway. This is the very start of the collaboration and I am truly excited about the opportunities arising from this workshop.

It’s great to see so many people coming together as a collective in order to to identify opportunities to support the people of Medway to narrow such a poignant gap.

1yYou have summed up the morning really well Nichole Tregenna myself and #teammhs colleagues found it extremely thought provoking, we learnt a lot and a great reminder of what great partner organisations we have in Medway. We have a great opportunity to get better health outcomes for local communities
