Summary

Partner with community organisations to deliver culturally relevant, community-led health education programmes.

Supporting information

Many experiencing health inequalities don't engage with practice-based health education. Partnerships with community organisations enable health education delivery in trusted spaces where marginalised groups already gather. Approaches to implementation: - Map community organisations working with your Focus Patients (see NET_01 and MDT_03) - Co-design health education topics based on community priorities - Deliver sessions in community venues at accessible times - Where possible, use peer educators from within communities - Provide resources for ongoing community-led health promotion - Evaluate reach and impact on health behaviours - Build sustainable partnerships beyond individual projects Key benefits: Reaches communities in their own spaces with trusted messengers, improving health literacy among groups least likely to engage with traditional health education.
