CommonHealth Catalyst
Led by Professor Michael Roy, CommonHealth Catalyst aims to develop a community research consortium to address health disparities.
This collaborative project will undertake the preparatory work to build the consortium focused on Lanarkshire.
This area in Scotland is among one of the places with the poorest health, and widest health inequalities, in Western Europe.
In this project we will aim to:
- Support and facilitate cross-partner collaboration between health and community partners and patient and public involvement and engagement to understand causes and potential solutions to health disparities.
- Scope the integrated care system(s) and community assets in Lanarkshire to understand the range of services, scale of provision, key stakeholders, and existing partnerships.
- Identify different collaborative models for integrating co-production into health systems improvement through a deliberative process that involves building trust and a shared vision.
