    Greater Manchester, New Hampshire Health Improvement Plan 2016 with support from the City of Manchester Health Department and the Greater Manchester Public Health Network WORKING TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE GREATER MANCHESTER REGION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Manchester Health Department and the Greater Manchester Public Health Network are pleased to present the first Health Improvement Plan for the Greater Manchester Public Health Region. Our collective vision is to transform public health in our region to an integrated system capable of seamless collaborations among all healthcare providers and public safety personnel with constructive engagement of patients, families, and communities. Through this integrated system, all people will have equitable access to timely, comprehensive, cost-effective, high-quality, and compassionate care. Public health is the practice of preventing disease and promoting good health within groups of people-- from small communities to entire countries. Public Health is YOUR health. It embodies everything from clean air to safe food and water, access to healthcare and safer communities. Through public health planning and prevention initiatives, the public gets sick less frequently, children grow to become healthy adults through adequate resources including health care, and our community reduces the impact of disasters by preparing people for the effects of catastrophes such as hurricanes, floods and terrorism. In preparing this Plan, the Public Health Network and its workgroups have reviewed needs assessments, utilizing data from many different sources such as community focus groups, key stakeholder interviews, and surveys. Building on this information, needs have been prioritized and work plans have been developed. This Health Improvement Plan identifies needs, goals, measurable objectives, and strategies to help us as we work together on solutions to important issues facing our community.

Executive Summary A summary of the findings detailed in this document Executive Summary Introduction Healthwatch England is the national consumer champion in health and care, with significant statutory powers to ensure the voice of the consumer is strengthened and heard by those who commission, deliver and regulate health and care services. The nationally-focused Healthwatch England works with 152 community-focused local Healthwatch to ensure consumers’ views are represented at both levels. This project aimed to involve local Healthwatch in Greater Manchester in collecting the public’s views on how they would like to receive services in the future and share this with the network. Greater Manchester was chosen as the first area of devolution for health and social care services. Local Healthwatch staff were involved throughout the process, to learn about deliberative engagement by taking part in the planning and facilitation of a series of deliberative events with members of the Greater Manchester population. DJS Research and Healthwatch worked together to plan and carry out three consultation events (one in Stockport, one in Oldham and one in Bolton), each with circa.

    Valuing Older People (VOP) – Culture Champions Scheme Evaluation

    Valuing Older People (VOP) – Culture Champions Scheme Evaluation 1. Introduction The Audience Agency was asked by the Valuing Older People (VOP) team to undertake the evaluation of the VOP Culture Champions scheme. This report illustrates the results from the evaluation. It introduces the scheme and the context within which it was developed. It reviews the role of the Culture Champions and their networks. It then moves onto a review of the events that have been organised as part of the scheme and the impact these have had on the success of the scheme itself. This evaluation will then review the scheme’s impact in terms of: • Encouraging older people in Manchester to engage with culture • Developing suitable provision at the cultural organisations involved in the scheme • Offering personal development opportunities for the Culture Champions Finally, the evaluation reviews improvements and development for the scheme suggested by the Culture Champions themselves. 1.1 Methodology We used three key methodologies to collect perspectives from stakeholders and participants in the project. • Surveys. We sent each Culture Champion a paper survey to fill in at home. With each paper survey we included a pre-stamped envelope for them to return the surveys free of cost. We sent all key contacts at participating cultural organisations a brief survey by email. At each Cultural Tour we asked all Culture Champions to fill in a survey at the end of the tour. • 1-2-1 interviews We conducted 1-2-1 interviews over the phone with a random sample of Culture Champions. • Focus group The VOPCO working group commissioned Big Art People to deliver a focus group with Culture Champions.
