Community Connectors is a North Central London Integrated Care System programme to strengthen and support local communities who face the highest health inequalities.
Recent work
A recent programme on heart health was delivered through our five Healthwatch partners in North Central London, covering the boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, and Islington. Our focus was healthy hearts and hypertension as a key element of our Population Health and Integrated Care Strategy.
The Community Connectors programme involves raising awareness within local communities, providing health checks through volunteers, and linking local people into self-management support. The approach gives communities a voice to address barriers, supports them to reduce health inequalities, and connects them to decision-makers. People are encouraged to take practical steps for health improvement.
