Healthy Advice
Developing links between Citizens Advice and health in London.
There has always been close partnership working between health (including wellbeing, mental health, social care, social prescribing etc.,) and Citizens Advice services - underpinned by a strong evidence base that advice interventions in areas such as benefits, debt, and housing can make a positive difference for health and wellbeing. As new "Integrated Care Systems" bed down in London, we will continue to develop these links on a London wide level.
Some LCA examples include:-
- Citizens Advice Camden - Health Setting Projects/Services
- Citizens Advice Wandsworth - DASCAS and Macmillan (with CA Croydon)
- Citizens Advice Harrow - Macmillan (Brent, Harrow & Ealing)
- Citizens Advice Southwark - Back on Track
London Citizens Advice have been working with the GLA, the Bromley by Bow Centre, and UCL to promote the benefits to the health sector of partnering with our services to address some of the social determinants of health inequalities in London. In July we worked with GLA on workshop to convene discussions across London's 5 Integrated Care Systems.
