Innovation in Motion: Reaching More People Through Community-Based Prevention

Health and care teams need to prevent ill health and reduce inequalities, but traditional approaches often struggle to reach those most at risk. Discover how Luton Council, Southwark Council and Beacon House used community-based health checks to identify risks earlier, engage more people and connect them with the right support.

Prevention programmes are under increasing scrutiny to demonstrate more than activity and participation. Health and care leaders need to show that they are reaching underserved communities, uncovering previously unidentified health risks and helping people take meaningful action – all while managing limited budgets, stretched teams and growing demand.

Luton Council, Southwark Council and Beacon House have delivered more than 25,000 checks, engaged hard-to-reach communities and released valuable frontline capacity.

In this webinar, the teams share what worked, what they learned and how they developed prevention programmes that delivered measurable outcomes across three very different community settings.

I wasn’t expecting this to be anywhere near as successful as it has been. I’m confident we’ve saved lives.
