Looking forward to starting this book by the amazing @katrionaos tonight… my head is full of reflection from @NHSinBlkCountry Health and Housing conference last week… I feel strongly and gratefully a game changer for our system #timeforchange #communityfirst #neighbourhoodNHS

Such an inspiring health and housing conference today organised by @NHSinBlkCountry and @wearewhg … with the incredible keynote speaker @katrionaos 🙌🏻TOGETHER we really can achieve more for those that need it most. Well done all 🏠

Truly inspirational life story retold at first Black Country Health and Housing conference today thank you @katrionaos

@DavidNichols0n improving health outcomes is where we get the best value for money - we need to focus on improving the life chances of patients and working together with housing, VFCSE sector and communities - redefining and thinking creativity to do this 💭@NHSinBlkCountry

Ending the day hearing from Emily, Amar and Stacey about their journey to becoming a community champion, the support they received & their development since! They have achieve so much between them despite facing challenges along the way & now support others in their community 👏🏻

@ppvernon opening the Health and Housing even hosted by @NHSinBlkCountry and whg with a reminder ‘our people are your people’ looking forward to a really interesting day!

@MarkAxcellNHS opens the event talking about how we need to work differently, reduce health inequalities and go further in how we serve our under represented populations. The desire to learn and recognise this need is growing and housing is key to this.

@meskymac @DavidNichols0n What an absolute privilege it is for us locally to have such an inspirational leader with an incredible weight of experience supporting this work and laying the gauntlet down for the nhs to look beyond itself… a proud moment today. #ProudlyBlackCountry. #healthandhousing24
