ADASS partners with specialist housing network to host webinar for NHS staff and commissioners
An upcoming webinar hosted by Housing LIN in collaboration with the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services in the East of England (ADASS East), will highlight two recent guides designed to assist people working within or alongside NHS staff in navigating housing services, systems, and professional networks effectively.
The webinar will take place on 11 June 2024 from 4pm to 5pm. Those who wish to attend can book a place or find out more about the session on the Housing LIN website.
With integrated care systems and boards in place, these guides aim to provide clear signposting for some of the more common situations and circumstances encountered, including problems with housing, homelessness and responsibility for adaptations.
‘Housing top tips: a route map to who does what in housing’ comes in two versions, one for NHS front line staff, and one for NHS Commissioners.
The free webinar will hear from leading commissioners and providers in the region on how they have been used to cross the housing and health divide. They will cover context for the Top Tips guides, development of the Top Tips, putting the Top Tips into action, a questions and panel debate, and more.
The purpose of the HAPPI HOUR events is to provide professionals the opportunity to watch and discover new extra care housing developments to find out about the design, development and operational management arrangements; to listen to the latest practice, research, new funding initiatives, innovative products or projects; and to learn about the current sector issues.
The Housing and Ageing Alliance recently stated that a national strategy is needed urgently to address the housing needs of the UK’s ageing population.
