Healthy ageing: Frail older populations are a growing proportion of our society, with complex and multiple needs, and a group for whom the whole system of care interacts. Havering has the distinction of being London’s oldest population, with the average age of residents exceeding the national average and the highest proportion of the ‘oldest old’
Social regeneration: With the highest rates of unemployment in Barking and Dagenham (10%) and the lowest levels of life expectancy in London (77 men, 82 women), and known interrelationships between society, employment and health, we want to ensure our programme of work brings investment and opportunity to regenerate our population.
The local population will have access to research and novel solutions that will collectively support improvements in their own health and the context they live in.
Staff will be able to contribute to cutting edge innovation, education and research, and participate in cross-boundary initiatives
Innovators, entrepreneurs and SMEs, will be able to rapidly test and implement innovations in real-life settings, and iterate and adjust their solutions based on evaluation to maximise impact
The UK, will benefit from dissemination of tested solutions, whilst also bringing in new forms of investment and partnerships with industry.
