Dear colleague,

Welcome to the June 2023 issue of the Health Anchors Learning Network newsletter. This month we highlight the transformative power of Health Justice Partnerships. These innovative collaborations between legal and healthcare providers aim to address social and economic determinants of ill health and provide comprehensive support to vulnerable populations.

Health Justice Partnerships: three-part series

1 - Health Justice Partnerships and Anchor Action: discover how these partnerships can change the nature of patient care by integrating welfare rights advice, including top tips for anchors getting started.
2 - Case study: Southwark Law Centre and Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital Homeless Patients Legal Advocacy Service: helping highly vulnerable people work through legal concerns, and ensure access to healthcare and accommodation, featuring powerful stories of lives changed and key lessons learned.
3 - Case study: Hertfordshire Money Advice Unit's Mental Health and Benefits Project: strengthening benefits and debt advice in mental health care settings. This case study showcases impressive results in improved financial circumstances, enhanced well-being, and reduced strain on healthcare resources.
