In this first episode, six members of staff from the Community Links Practitioner programme provide input on, 'What is the Links Approach?' The episode will provide some context around the creation of the programme and its purpose. Listeners will then have the opportunity to hear directly from CLPs about the day to day aspects of their roles.
The Makes Links Podcast will showcase what it means to be a Community Links Practitioner and the myriad of tasks and skills that are required to perform the role. The podcast will also invite guests from GP practices and members of the communities where the CLPs are based to discuss how the presence of CLPs are making an impact on the delivery of community care and support.
The My World My Health project aims to shine a light on the things that contribute to our wellbeing, but aren't necessarily 'medical' in nature. For example, we might all think of medications, doctors and hospitals as having an obvious impact on our health. We might perhaps even consider diet and exercise. But what about our employment, home life and even the community or society that we live in?
We do not want to move the discussion away from clinical data completely. Instead, we want to broaden it by thinking about the wider factors that influence our wellbeing. Furthermore, we want to consider how we might better use information that is already known.
How do you feel about this type of data sharing? And if it seems like a good thing to explore in some contexts, how should it be designed so it gives you control and also helps you in practical ways? These are some of the questions we will be exploring with the public as part of this project, in partnership with the Digital Health and Care Innovation Centre.
To get involved, you can take part in one of our upcoming workshops or fill in the online survey.
