Cervical cancer screening engagement, winter vaccination uptake; blood pressure at home monitoring programme; ‘Baby Feeding Friendly’ borough; children and young people respiratory evaluation; West Middlesex's ‘Making every contact count’ project; are all incredible examples of where Population Health Management has been successfully implemented to help make more evidence-based decisions, deliver new service designs, or maximise service resources to provide better outcomes for patients.
The Population Health Management Framework (PHMF) helps to:
- Use data and engagement to understand the needs of our residents
- Identify and target those who will benefit most from interventions
- Develop evidence-based interventions
- Embed evaluation to understand impact.
More than 50 colleagues from across the Borough Based Partnership (BBP) have now successfully completed the PHMF training. However, the BBP is keen for more health colleagues to undertake the training so that more projects can benefit from this data led approach within their project planning or evaluation processes. As this will help you to better understand where interventions can produce positive outcomes for residents and patients.
The Hounslow Public Health team will be hosting the following virtual Population Health Management Lunch and Learn events:
Population Health Management Framework training materials are now available on the BBP Resource Centre in the Population Health Management folder

The Public Health Insights and Evaluation Team also provide hands-on guidance, as reinforced by Zaid Dowlut, Head of Delivery, North West London:
“Insights and Evaluation colleagues supported our project team in defining the type of research best suited to our objectives, the instrument(s) to be used, and guided us in applying the Logic evaluation tool, and helped colleagues to identify and clarify the outcomes expected.
“They helped ensure that an evidence-based approach was used to demonstrate the value of the project to the local health care system.”
The following PHMF case studies provide an insightful overview:
- Cervical Cancer Engagement
- Winter Vaccinations
- Establishing a Population Health Management Clinic in surgical pre-assessment unit at West Middlesex University Hospital
