Please join us for a lunch and learn which will showcase the Health Inequalities Research Findings in CORE20 areas.
CORE20PLUS5 is a national strategy designed to reduce health inequalities. The CORE20PLUS5 project aims to help us build an understanding of our residents impacted by health inequalities and develop and evaluate interventions to improve their health outcomes. There are 12 CORE20 areas in Hounslow. You can find out more about these locations in the link below.
During the lunch and learn, you will get to hear about the extensive data analysis and community engagement efforts that took place over the past six months (Jan-July) by nine local VCSE groups. This work has provided deep insights into the challenges faced by those living in the most deprived areas of Hounslow (CORE20 areas).
This event will present the findings from these activities, emphasising the voices of residents.
Attendees will benefit from learning the following:
- Health inequalities in CORE20 areas
- Findings from data analysis
- The merits of delivering targeted community engagement via VCSE partners
- Resident feedback
- How the findings link with current Health and Care organisation priorities and projects
- How next steps will flow into the new Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs).
Our aim is that Hounslow Borough Based Partners (BBP) and local stakeholders will come away from this event with a greater understanding of local health insight and inequalities and will work with us to help shape and deliver actionable steps towards improving outcomes in these communities.
