Produktbeschreibung

Faced with a double whammy of unprecedented financial challenges and rapidly rising need and demand, there is an urgent need for everyone involved in health, housing and social care to work together more effectively. Yet all too often these are separate worlds, with few people understanding how each sector works or the key opportunities and barriers which exist. Against this background, the National Housing Federation and the Health Services Management Centre (HSMC) at the University of Birmingham have worked together to produce this special edition, exploring future scope for joint working and lessons learned from current good practice examples. In the opening paper, Chris Handy provides an introduction to the many interconnections between health, housing and social care. As a Chief Executive of a Housing Association and a former NHS Board member, he has worked on both sides of these traditional divides and argues passionately for a more co-ordinated approach. After this, Will Lilley summarises the work of the Bromford Group around reablement, recovery and social inclusion in mental health services, describing successful projects and demonstrating how joint working can lead to better outcomes. Next, Diane Lea provides a fascinating insight into the workings, principles and aspirations of the Stoke Health and Well-being Board (which is chaired by someone who is also Chief Executive of the Staffordshire Housing Group). Adrian Phillips, Director of Public Health at Birmingham City Council, then focuses on the example of homelessness as an issue which is deeply embedded in current social structures and where only a joined-up response can even hope to scratch the surface. This is followed by a piece from Liz Blackender and Jo Prestidge describing the work of the Pan-London personalised budgets project. Taking concepts more common in adult social care, the team have developed a more personalised approach to working with rough-sleepers - with powerful results.Overall, health, housing and social care still feel like separate worlds - but the papers in this special edition show what is possible even within a divided system.
