This week's HLINks: 10 - 14 January 2022
Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and our must-read weekly bulletin, HLINks (opens new window), week-ending Friday, 14 January 2022.
This week, we published a new Housing LIN guest blog by the 'renting your own place’ research team. Funded by the National Institute for Health Research, School for Social Care Research (opens new window), this project is trying to understand the ways that people with learning disabilities who are on the ‘edges’ of social care can be better supported to access and enjoy living in their own tenancies in the community. This blog reveals what some of the key messages were from the early project findings and explains what the next stage of research involves.
We also highlight a range of items that we think will be of interest to you, including:
- think local act personal's (TLAP) new report, Ten Actions for an Asset-Based Area
- A new article (opens new window) published by The Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research on the benefits of telecare in reducing ambulance call outs
- Healthy Homes campaign update: 'Westminster Hall debate shows strength of feeling about poor housing quality across the political spectrum (opens new window)'
We're also gearing up for the beginning of the next HAPPI Hour programme! On Tuesday, 25 January from 4pm, we're so excited to be joined by Thirteen who will be discussing their approach to the Living Well project, helping people live healthy and happy lives as they age. Other HAPPI Hours to follow can be found on our Events webpage.
Finally, we're anticipating the launch of the ESCR funded Diversity in Care Environments (DICE) project (opens new window), chaired by Professor Tom Scharf, Newcastle University. Led by the University of Bristol and supported by ILC-UK and the Housing LIN, join the virtual launch to find out more about the key findings on addressing social inclusion in a housing with care setting.
