Dear colleague,

Welcome to the July 2023 issue of the Health Anchors Learning Network newsletter, an especially important month as we commemorate 75 years of the NHS!

... and read below for your opportunity to feed into what HALN does next!

Anchoring Communities for 75 years: celebrating the NHS

As we celebrate NHS reaching this milestone, we reflect on the ways in which NHS organisations are increasingly embracing their role as a community anchor. Through workforce programs, procurement policies, infrastructure investments, environmental initiatives, partnerships, and community engagement, we spotlight how some organisations are addressing social determinants of health and driving social and economic development.

How can HALN help you?

We want your opinion on how to maximise the value of HALN for anchor colleagues in health - but also other key sectors, such as education, local government and housing. In this quick survey we ask about your perspectives on topics of interest, preferred activities and resources, and ideas for the future. Your feedback will shape HALN's direction of travel.

How strong is your anchor? Measurement toolkit for health anchors

UCLPartners have launched a practical new toolkit to support healthcare anchors in measuring their activity and impact - which Matilda Allen explores in a new blog. Focused on flexibility, it includes a logic model, menu of indicators, and examples of measurement approaches. Anchors can select and tailor as needed to fit their local context and priorities.
