Partnerships of prevention: Beyond regulation

Turner, Ellis

Abstract

The public health agenda provided new impetus and opportunities to tackle health inequalities and a framework for revisiting policy and practice in the PRS to deliver better health outcomes. However, the national picture is erratic, and the extent to which we intervene with housing as a key social determinant of health across the life course. This is particularly the case in the PRS, where we find some of the poorest conditions and management. There is a need to work closely with colleagues in public health and better understand local data and how we can act on this to reduce health inequalities by more effective, evidence-based practice. Working more effectively together can help develop a better understanding of roles and purpose, creating more streamlined and client-focused services to help address health inequalities at their most acute.
