Nuffield Health

In celebration of World Health Day, we're spotlighting a project that's genuinely changed the lives of many in the UK.   High blood pressure is a silent issue, hitting hardest in the most deprived communities. 🩸 That’s why we partnered with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and Manchester Local Care Organisation to pilot the Community-led Blood Pressure Programme.   This wasn’t a typical intervention. It was about listening to the community, co-creating solutions, and putting people in control of their health. The result? A model that works, and one we believe can be scaled and replicated to support the NHS and help tackle health inequalities.   We’ve captured the story, impact and lessons learned in our new report, Take Heart, which you can read here: https://lnkd.in/ewJsADu   #WorldHealthDay #CommunityHealth #BloodPressure #Prevention #HealthEquity

Today, our Charity and Medical Director, Davina Deniszczyc, joined a roundtable discussion in Parliament, chaired by Simon Opher MP, on how we can shift more healthcare from hospitals into communities - ensuring people get the right care and support earlier and closer to home.     This follows the publication of our joint white paper with The Manchester Metropolitan University, Unlocking the Miracle Cure, which explores how movement can help the Government achieve its three key shifts in healthcare:   ✅ Moving care closer to home rather than in hospitals   ✅ Preventing illness rather than just treating it   ✅ Moving the NHS from analogue to digital   At Nuffield Health, we’re already making this a reality. Our free community rehabilitation programmes, delivered by incredible rehab specialists, are helping people recover faster, stay active, and manage conditions like joint pain more effectively.     A big thank you to Policy Connect for hosting this important discussion. We look forward to continuing to influence the 10-year plan for health and making sure movement plays a key role in the future of healthcare.     Read our white paper here: here: https://lnkd.in/eeUy5JH2   #Rehabilitation #MovementForHealth #CommunityCare #NuffieldHealth
