IN SEARCH OF HEALTH CREATION, COMMUNITY BY COMMUNITY
None of us is smarter than all of us
December 1, 2016
Burdett Theatre, King’s Fund, London W1
Health Creation Alliance announced its commitment earlier this year to address health inequalities through the concept and practice of Health Creation. Health Creation is regarded by many as the single most important driver for change in our thinking around the delivery of health care.
Our December Action Summit aims to start a determined movement around primary and community care enabled Health Creation, as a means to close the unacceptable life expectancy gap between rich and poor, and over time to reduce demand on NHS services.
Our vision for the Summit is that health professionals from across primary care, together with colleagues in urgent and emergency care, commissioning, emergency services, third sector, housing, local government, education and social care, will explore health creation in context of their own experiences, and co-shape thinking and content for a manifesto for primary and community care enabled health creation.
We would be delighted if you would like to join us. Please save the date and register your interest now with  conference@thehealthcreationalliance.org. Please note places are limited and we will be offered in order of registered interest.
