Using this targeted approach, we are focusing in on connecting with Middlesbrough’s communities, to impact the 5 key healthcare inequalities identified by the NHS (‘Core20Plus5’ programme). We are looking for you to help us shape the direction of the programme moving forward, we want to hear your collective community voice.
This event will explain how the Middlesbrough Health Champion approach is tackling local Core20Plus5 Healthcare Inequalities, giving us a chance to explore new opportunities and connections within our community. We will cover the work of our current Health Champions programme; their achievements to date and how we hope to expand further to tackle the 5 priority areas which are:
- Early Cancer Diagnosis
- Maternity for Ethnic Minority Communities
- Severe Mental Illness
- Chronic Respiratory Disease
- Hypertension Case-finding
You will learn about the regional Health Champion Core20Plus5 programme; our partnership work with Gateshead and what they are teaching us to drive the programme forward. We are looking to strengthen our local connections by continuing to develop our work with key community links; local and regional strategic teams and our VCS partners to co-produce our approach through our Health Champions Network, reinforcing collaboration within Middlesbrough.
