The right home and neighbourhood environment can maintain health, improve wellbeing and prevent physical and mental illness.
Health, Social Services, Housing and the Voluntary sector (amongst others) all have a role to play in delivering supportive housing and neighbourhoods.
Digital technology can contribute to the basic infrastructure required for a successful delivery.
Speakers will include those working at policy level and on actual applications. Attendees will gain insights which will help them frame their local strategies and implementations.
Generally there needs to be much more emphasis on disease prevention in healthcare and encouragement to maintain good health if we are to avert the growing crisis in our nation’s care provision. This isn’t just the responsibility of Primary Care but lies with other sectors that have an impact on health.
