Hi all, I haven’t seen this neither which is annoying as I would have wanted to spend some time to think about what I think about it. Would anyone in London would quickly want to meet up to go through it? I live in Acton - this weekend is crazy busy but could meet tmrw, Sunday at about 7.30/8PM for a pint and some thoughts, anyone?

The notion that population health can be fundamentally improved by inexpensive (usually voluntary) attempts to boost 'social cohesion' is always an attractive one for governments; especially of course for free-market fundamentalist ones: keen to avoid spending money on public health care, let alone the eradication of poverty (does anyone remember Cameron's 'Big Society'?). > > Best Regards > > Paul > > > From: The UK Community Psychology Discussion List <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of P PRIEST <[log in to unmask]> > Sent: 19 August 2016 10:28 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: NICE quality standard for Community Engagement: Improving Health and Wellbeing > > Hi everyone > The deadline for submissions to the consultation on the NICE quality standard for Community Engagement: Improving Health and Wellbeing is 5pm next Monday (22nd August). > > https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/GID-QS10013/documents/draft-quality-standard > Community engagement: improving health and wellbeing NICE ... > www.nice.org.uk > DRAFT Quality standard for Community engagement: improving health and wellbeing DRAFT (July 2016) 3 of 25 equity, leading to a reduction in avoidable inequalities ... > > > I don't recall it being discussed on this list.

A kind of DIY approach to health and social care. I’m convinced of social and economic inequality being major determinants of health and ill health, but the idea that we can all be good neighbours and thereby do without doctors, nurses, therapists and carers, that I'm less convinced of'. It strikes me that this NICE document seems aimed at encouraging just that. > > I'd be interested to hear any thoughts. > > Best wishes > Penny > > ___________________________________ > The list is jointly managed by David Fryer [log in to unmask] and Grant Jeffrey [log in to unmask], either of whom are able to deal with queries. > To unsubscribe or to change your details on this COMMUNITYPSYCHUK list, visit the website: > http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=COMMUNITYPSYCHUK > ___________________________________ The list is jointly managed by David Fryer [log in to unmask] and Grant Jeffrey [log in to unmask], either of whom are able to deal with queries.
