Dear Deborah
I'm posting this on behalf of
Phyl Jones at Age Concern Tower Hamlets - hope this is helpful
For the attention of Deborah CHINN
Michele Lee of Age Concern England has forwarded your email
about your research in Tower Hamlets. I'd suggest you contact Mary Akuffo of TH
PCT Public Health Department ([log in to unmask]). She convenes
the Older People's Workstream of the Mental health Promotion Steering Group but
can obviously take your issue back to the Steering Group. They will have
representatives from a wide range of statutory and voluntary bodies including
BME organisations. We have recently pioneered a very successful couple of
projects to empower the Bangladeshi Community to reach their people in an
appropriate manner.
Dear All
We (some PCT psychologists) have got some funding
to find out from people in Tower Hamlets in the East End of
London what they think are the important things that impact on their health
and wellbeing, and conversely, what might get in the way of good physical and
mental health. The starting point for this study were worries from primary
health staff, mainly health visitors and district nurses, that there were
quite a few people who didn't find seem to find health professionals' current
approaches or interventions very helpful. We are going to have to think
carefully about issues of race/culture in the design and focus of the study, as
Tower Hamlets is a very ethnically diverse borough with 30% of the population
identified as Bangladeshi.
Does anyone know of any similar work, or maybe
someone has conducted a similar study? Any ideas or suggestions would be
gratefully received.
Many thanks
Deborah Chinn
