How to Put Communities Truly at the Heart of Transforming Outcomes: Testing Innovative Approaches of Tackling Socio-Economic Root Causes to Improve Longer-Term Population Health and Wellbeing

Brian Laing and Ffion Prothero

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board

This Bevan Exemplar project, aligned to the Bevan Programme of ‘People, Place & Health’, is intended to:

  1. Test and evaluate how to engage with communities collaboratively to provide true agency and voice to drive forward transformational outcomes; and
  2. Inform how our public services will need to adapt and evolve to deliver community services which are co-designed, co-produced and co-evaluated in an equal partnership across the whole system.

The outputs of this project will help to scope and shape the longer-term programme of work required, making the compelling case for change. Communities and public services will all benefit from reducing inequalities and improving longer-term population health and wellbeing outcomes.
