Community, Health and Capital @ 19 Hills
A podcast series exploring new approaches to primary care, public health and public service delivery, supporting the 19 Hills Wellbeing Centre and community activities in Ringland, a small area in the east of Newport in south east Wales.
We talk to colleagues and partners around the UK and beyond on how shifting to prevention, prioritising action on the Social Determinants of health and community-owned models of service delivery could change lives - and give staff a better job and purpose.
Community, Health and Capital @ 19 Hills
Increasing action on social determinants of health in primary care with Dr Selva Selvarajah, GP at Bromley-by-Bow
Let us know what you think of the show
Join us for our 8th episode as we speak with Dr Selva Selvarajah, a GP Partner at St Andrews Health Centre at the infamous Bromley-by-Bow Health Centre in Tower Hamlets, east London. Selva narrates a brief history of how Bromley-by-Bow grew from its roots as a community-led social action organisation into one delivering primary healthcare, but with a radically different approach.
Selva talks to us about recent developments at Bromley-by-Bow including how the NHS is commissioning their organisation to deliver more preventative, 'population health' activity in the community and how action on the social determinants (money, housing, work and more) is becoming a routine part of the care they provide to people with long-term conditions.
