HLINks Weekly: Housing, Health, and Social Care Latest News

HLINks Weekly: Housing, Health, and Social Care Latest News

22 April 2024

Last week we had the pleasure of attending The Dunhill Medical Trust’s Annual Symposium! It was a fantastic opportunity to hear from some of the exciting initiatives they have been supporting over the last 12 months.

It was great to hear from Debra Edwards, TAPPI Co-production champion at Haringey Council, who gave an enlightening presentation on the recent TAPPI findings and tools.

We also heard updates on the Amar Bari Amar Jibon research project with Manik Gopinath at The Open University and Bashir Uddin at Bangla Housing Association. 

Their insights shed light on the importance of reflecting community voices in both research and practice, making their contributions truly valuable.

Kudos also to our CEO, Jeremy Porteus, for steering a dynamic panel discussion on planning for age-friendly communities using the 'Serious Game' methodology.

Engaging conversations with industry leaders like Vikki McCall at the University of Stirling, Rebekah Luff at Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) and Alison Benzimra at United St Saviour's Charity.

Thank you for being a part of our community. We hope you find this week's HLINks newsletter both informative and engaging. Stay tuned for more exciting updates in the weeks to come!

 

Best wishes,
