Social Return on Investment (SROI) report
Health and social care services in North and West London are building positive new models of cross-sector working to make better use of joined-up resources. The Self-Care social prescribing model has led to reduced avoidable need for hospitalisations, reduced need for GP practice hours, and reduced levels of physical pain and depression for patients.
Integration
This report brings together the learning to date from seven key areas that have focused on the integration of health and care services. The focus goes beyond the narrow definition of health and care to include more preventative approaches including services such as housing, social and community activity.
Healthy Workplace
"The London Healthy Workplace Charter, backed by the Mayor of London, provides clear and easy steps for employers to make their workplaces healthier and happier."
At the Social Council we are interested in supporting and encouraging the local voluntary and community sector to engage in that process and make a difference to the quality of life of their staff force.
Over 120 organisations have been accredited and awarded, with more than 225,000 employees benefiting.
