Leads: Tracy Rubery - Borough Director, Redbridge (NHS NEL), Bob Edwards – Integrated Care Director, Redbridge (NELFT) and Harpreet Jutle – Engagement and Community Communications Manager (NHS NEL)

NHS North East London, NELFT and LBR are working together on plans for a new health and care centre in the heart of Ilford town centre. The plans for the new centre will provide easy access to GP services, as well as a range of health, social care and community services from two floors in the Ilford Exchange shopping centre. Having these services in a modern building in a central location with excellent transport links, will allow us to better meet the needs of the local community.

Watch this lunch and learn session to find out more about the proposed plans, the feedback from the recent consultation and next steps.

Lead: Ian Diley, Consultant in Public Health, London Borough of Redbridge

This lunch and learn session will provide an overview of how to balance the concepts of effectiveness, efficiency, and equity in deciding care pathways and resource allocation. We will discuss a commissioning scenario and introduce key basic elements of health economics. We will try and demonstrate the challenges in agreeing fair and defensible budgeting and spending decisions.

Lead: Charli Skinner, ACO Projects

How can we use Community Chests for social prescribing as 1) a vehicle to better understand gaps in patient need 2) an opportunity to design and provide more tailored and relevant community support activities to patients?

This lunch and learn session will explore how we work to understand gaps in need in social prescribing services. We will explore how the Community Chest micro-grant funding mechanism could work to address key health inequalities through community-designed and community-led activities; and how we can reach, and work with, under-utilised VCSEs/ community groups to deliver social prescribing activities.

Lead: Cathy Turland, Chief Executive, Healthwatch

The lunch and learn session will provide an overview on Accessible Information Standards and it’s importance, and the impact of information that is unclear or not accessible to all our residents. It will also provide an insight into the work being undertaken by Healthwatch to promote the use of the Accessible Information Standards across all Health and Social Care services.

Lead: Gladys Xavier, Director of Public Health and Commissioning, London Borough of Redbridge

Population Health Management (PHM) is an approach which helps us understand people’s health and care needs and how they are likely to change in the future. It aims to improve physical and mental health outcomes, reduce health inequalities, and help us live our extra years in better health. PHM uses historical and current data about people’s health and use of services to design new proactive models of care which will improve health and wellbeing today as well as in the future. It involves local people, the NHS and other public services including councils, schools, housing associations and social services working together to join up services for people by sharing information, resources and goals. This approach helps to design services that are tailored to the needs of people in each area. It makes treatment and prevention pathways which are more patient-focused for improving health and preventing illness, and makes care services more efficient with better use of public resources.

The lunch and learn session will provide a summary of what Population Health Management means for Redbridge.

Lead: Sreeparna Roy, Engagement and Development Officer from Public Health will be presenting a Lunch and Learn on Community Engagement.

Community engagement is the process of working collaboratively with and through groups of people to address issues affecting the wellbeing of the community. It is a powerful tool in bringing about behavioural changes which can improve the long term health of our residents. It involves long term partnerships and empowers the community by identifying ethical pitfalls and creates a ground work for subsequent collaborations.
