Free training for staff, volunteers and community champions to support people at risk of high blood pressure to check and understand their blood pressure. No experience needed. Organisations with a trained champion can apply for a small grant to purchase a blood pressure monitor.

Shaping Health Literacy Standards
Deadline: 5 February
The University of Sunderland is evaluating health literacy standards for organisations. They aim to gather informed opinions from people with relevant experience, asking them to give feedback in two survey rounds so areas of agreement can be identified. They are inviting you to take part based on your role, experience, or involvement in health literacy-related work. The standards have been developed by the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board’s Health Literacy Team. Taking part involves completing two online surveys to rate and comment on the standards, each taking 30-60 minutes.

Welcome to the Population Health Academy

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Population Health Academy has been designed as a learning space to (i) raise awareness of the NHS role in the delivery of prevention and health inequalities, (ii) to support the NHS in understanding the actions to take and to (iii) support leaders to be a stronger advocate for this agenda. This will support the NHS, working with our partners, to strengthen leadership and accountability for health inequalities and to tackle the avoidable, unfair, and systematic difference in outcomes, access and experience between different groups of people.

On this webpage we have included some communities of practice spaces to connect you with others who share a passion for a particular area, a rolling programme of training opportunities which is regularly updated, more information on key NHS prevention and health inequalities initiatives, a set of resources to support you in your work and further information on more specific population health development opportunities.

To find out more about how NHS services in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are using insight from health and care data to improve outcomes and reduce health inequalities, please visit the population health management page.
