This week’s HLINks: 15 - 19 March 2021
#Jeremytalks (opens new window)
Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and my weekly piece to audio to coincide with our must-read weekly bulletin, HLINks, week-ending Friday, 19 March 2021.
This week we published two guest blogs. The first by Tunstall Healthcare’s Zillah Moore on improving health outcomes and the collaboration between health, housing and social care services; the second by Francesca Johnson at architects Stride Treglown in which she sets out the importance of post-occupancy evaluation in specialist living design.
In this week’s HLINks, you can also take a tour of other news and events on later life housing and independent living with regard to homes and communities, health and social care, design and technology, planning matters and more. In particular, we draw attention to the World Health Organization’s new campaign on a Decade of Healthy Ageing to coincide with the launch of the UN’s Global Ageism report. In addition, we feature the Scottish Government’s strategy Housing to 2040 which sets out clear ambitions for more affordable homes built to new accessible housing quality standards.
We also feature an exciting range of upcoming HAPPI Hour webinar sessions, including one featuring the Church of England’s recent state of the nation housing report by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York followed by 2 sessions on the findings from Lord Best’s APPG Inquiry report on Housing and Dementia.
