✨Understanding Our Community: Insights from Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Hospital✨ Following on from last week's post, I’ll be diving using CACI Ltd Acorn and new InSite Everywhere GIS system, revealing some insightful statistics about the households within a 20-minute walk of Guy's and St. Thomas Hospital, and these insights can help drive proactive engagement and support. 🎥🎥I’ve also recorded an interactive video of the analysis which can be viewed here: https://lnkd.in/esU-72P2? 🏚15,914 households are within a 20-minute walk of the hospital. 🏘2,784 postcodes fall under the category of Low-Income Living. 🧪4,111 postcodes are classified as Stretched Societies under the Acorn classification. When we delve deeper, we find that: A significant portion, 2,422 households, are Diverse Families and sharers living in flats. 855 households are lone parents with dependent children. What Does This Mean for Us? These statistics are more than just numbers; they represent real people with diverse needs and challenges. By understanding these demographics, we can tailor services and outreach programs to better support our community. Actionable Insights: Proactive Engagement: By identifying areas with high concentrations of low-income households and stretched societies, we can develop targeted outreach programs to ensure these communities have access to the healthcare services they need. People and Place-Related Data: identify specific groups, such as diverse families and lone parents, who may benefit from specialised support services. Community Support Initiatives: With a clear understanding of our community’s composition, we can collaborate with local organisations to provide comprehensive support, addressing both healthcare and social needs. To find out me, drop me an email! 📧[email protected]

Thanks again to Maranda C. Ward, Ed.D, MPH for introducing me to National Public Health Week. As previously mentioned in my last post, National Public Health week is every first full week of April and is intended to recognize contributions made to Public Health as well as bringing attention to issues that can improve our nation's health. Each day of National Public Health Week focuses on a specific theme, with today being healthy neighborhoods. Our neighborhoods and living situations have a tremendous impact on our health and wellbeing. A healthy neighborhood is key for a healthy life. Healthy neighborhoods are categorized as having a safe place to live without the dangers of pollution or hazards. In addition, it means to have places in the community where people can be active such as having parks, sidewalks, and bike trails/lanes. Furthermore, access to nutritious and affordable food plays a role in creating a healthy neighborhood. Some ways that you can contribute to creating healthy neighborhoods are: Planting trees: Consider planting trees in your yard or joining a local organization dedicated to tree planting. Trees have various benefits such as protection from rising heat, reducing pollution, improving mental health, and enhancing neighborhood aesthetics Build relationships with your neighbors: Neighborly connections build a sense of belonging, social support, and create supportive environments By taking these actions, we can all play a part in creating healthier, more vibrant neighborhoods for ourselves and future generations. #NationalPublicHealthWeek #HealthyNeighborhoods

CEO @HealthQRehab I Help people #stayactiveforlife with physiotherapy solutions I 195k Subs on youtube
🌟 Embracing the Power of Physiotherapy in Leprosy Rehabilitation 🌟 Did you know that physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the holistic treatment journey of individuals affected by leprosy? Leprosy, though often misunderstood, requires a comprehensive approach to ensure not only medical treatment but also social and physical rehabilitation. And that's where physiotherapy steps in as a game-changer! Physiotherapy interventions are tailored to address a myriad of challenges faced by leprosy patients, ranging from nerve damage to muscle weakness and joint stiffness. Through specialized exercises, manual therapy, and innovative techniques, physiotherapists empower patients to regain strength, mobility, and independence. But it's not just about physical well-being. Physiotherapy fosters emotional resilience and social integration, empowering individuals affected by leprosy to reclaim control over their lives. As we observe World Leprosy Day, let's shine a spotlight on the indispensable role of physiotherapy in the journey towards healing and inclusivity. Together, let's advocate for comprehensive care that honors the dignity and rights of every individual, regardless of their health condition. #Physiotherapy #LeprosyRehabilitation #Inclusivity #HealthcareHeroes

In reverse order... 4. E for enabling. Yes! Absolutely enabling data and technology to benefit everyone, especially for enabling personalised services... 3. R for recognition. Without question, however we do to change the conversation just a little bit, there is much more to social care than the 1.5m care workers who work in regulated settings. We need to recognise all of the amazing work that volunteers and micro providers and self employed PAs do every day as well. 2. I for integration. If the solution is integration, what is the question? Again this should not be framed solely in NHS and social care integration, what about community groups, volunteers, micro providers, PAs, social enterprises and the wealth of assets in a local area. 1. F for funding is an F word. F should also mean Finding different ways of doing things, F for the Fabulous work that goes on every day and does not make the headlines...

Dynamic leader. Action oriented. Love data and stories. Excellent at cross-cultural and multi-sector collaborations.
From what to wear to what we eat, we make on average between 33,000 to 35,000 decisions a day. While some decisions may be inconsequential to people's lives (i.e. what TV show to watch tonight) many of them force our families to choose between basic necessities, including food, shelter, medical attention, and clothing. I invite you all to read Pedro J. Viloria's post on World Health Day https://lnkd.in/eSV5PUq4

Helping FQHCs, public health departments, and other health nonprofits win more grants, gain greater strategic clarity, and meet community needs. Writer. Facilitator. She/her.
It's Day 2 of National Public Health Week! #NPHW Today's focus is on healthy neighborhoods. I see this in my work A LOT. When our team conducts #needsassessments we often hear and see how the environments in which people live can create significant health inequities. This is because not everyone has the same access to: 🚰 Air and water free of pollution. 🏡 Safe places to live, without hazards like lead or smoke. 🚵♀️ Safe ways for everyone to be active, like sidewalks and safe places to bike. 🥗 Easy access to fresh, affordable, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food. These are all critical to our health. When our environments and our neighborhoods are healthy, we have the building blocks for healthy lives. And when our environments and our neighborhoods are not healthy, it can be hugely challenging for individuals to overcome these obstacles to health by themselves. That's why #publichealth works every day to improve the environment on a SYSTEMS level, for EVERYONE. Whether it be advocating for smoke-free policies or bike lanes or healthier public school lunches, public health is all about making healthier environments and neighborhoods that benefit us all. But there are things we can each do to play our part in this collective goal! We can do things like plant trees to increase green space, get to know our neighbors for social cohesion, and support farmers' markets for fresh, local food. How do you support a healthy neighborhood? Are there systems changes you'd like to see to improve the health of your neighborhood?
