Creating sustainable and healthy communities

15th May 2024, 12:00pm - 1:00pm , Online

Dr Simon Lennane has been a GP in Ross-on-Wye for 20 years. He has published “Creating Community Health: Interventions for Sustainable Healthcare”, which explores how upstream community-based interventions can offer sustainable and cost-effective community health benefits. Simon was clinical director of the local Primary Care Network during the pandemic, as well as clinical lead for mental health commissioning. Simon has long been involved with community development in Ross-on-Wye and is a founder trustee of Ross Community Development Trust, which supports the local voluntary sector.

During this one-hour meeting, hosted by the FPH Primary Care and Public Health SIG, hear from Dr Simon Lennane about creating sustainable and healthy communities by bridging the gap between health services and the voluntary sector. These approaches embrace connectivity, challenge inequality and are a preventative means to improving health outcomes. This is important as communities face challenges such as climate change and pandemics. This session will be of interest to those from primary care and public health backgrounds and is open to all FPH members.
