We are joining forces with the @uniofwarwick and NHS organisations to tackle health inequalities in the region in a bid to improve life expectancy rates in Coventry. Figures from Coventry and Warwickshire's Integrated Care Services Health Inequalities Plan show that life expectancy in Coventry is lower than the national average. That is just one of the health inequalities the new Arden Health Partnership (AHP), which will bring university academics together with @nhsuhcw, @nhsswft, @CWPT_NHS, The Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (CW ICB) and @HealthInnovWM, to address local health challenges and apply for large scale funding. Together they aim to measurably improve health and wellbeing outcomes and reduce health inequalities across the region by researching and implementing innovative healthcare services to match the needs of the population, listening to and prioritising the needs of patients, engaging with diverse communities, developing integrated, preventative care models that work for patients and communities, empowering the healthcare workforce through training, innovation and multidisciplinary collaboration, advancing precision population health through the strategic use of health and care data and removing barriers between academia, business and healthcare. The AHP is a collaboration centred around the development of a brand-new HealthTech Campus in Solihull. Read more here: pulse.ly/dp2y7rvbfa Photo credit: University of Warwick
