The Centre for Ageing Better, along with housing providers Anchor and Hanover, hosted a collaborative workshop that brought together people across the health, care and housing sectors to develop joint solutions to enable people to live independently for longer and alleviate pressure on the NHS and social care.
With the agenda for devolving more power and responsibility for local delivery, we believe there are opportunities to achieve better care for the individual and better value for money if health, care and housing are joined up.
The workshop encompassed the following three sessions:
- Experiences of health, care and housing from the individual’s perspective
- What does good practice look like, both in terms of prevention and integration of health, care and housing?
- What needs to change, both locally and nationally?
