This week HLINks: 19 – 23 September 2022

Jeremy Porteus

Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and this week's HLINks.

Celebrating #AccessibleHomesWeek, we drew attention to a range of Accessible Design resources that show how good design can maintain health and wellbeing and help people adapt to changes that may be due to aging.

We were pleased to publish a new guest blog by Tunstall Healthcare's Corporate Sales Director, Sarah Watts revealing how telecare is leading a retirement revolution. 

And, continuing the telecare theme, we hosted our first HAPPI Hour webinar of the Autumn / Winter series. Looking at the sectors readiness for the digital switch, we were joined by Tim Barclay, CEO at Appello, Steve Sadler, Head of Tech Strategy at TSA & Dr Kate Hamblin, Research Fellow at the Centre for International Research on Care, Labour and Equalities at Sheffield University. Missed it? You can now rewatch here. 

We are also delighted that Carlton Dene, Westminster City Council’s flagship extra care scheme, took home the HAPPI Award at the Housing Design Awards. We look forward to featuring the winning entry in association with Levitt Bernstein at our forthcoming HAPPI Hour webinar.

Lastly, we are always keen to hear stories, receive your good practice case studies and thought leadership. If you would like to contribute, email us at: comms@housinglin.org.uk (opens new window)

Stay connected, stay curious!
