There is widespread political agreement that putting health services at the heart of communities is a good idea. And yet, despite this consensus, progress is glacial.
Why? Because the system designed to deliver this is stuck in neutral. Speaking with senior leaders from the NHS and private health providers, local government, private investment and regeneration, what becomes clear is that there is not a lack of ambition, but a wall of institutional and systemic inertia that prevents change.
Radix Big Tent has therefore launched a new project to bring community health on to the UK High Street, both to improve public health and act as a catalyst for regeneration.
To be chaired by author, designer and place-strategist, Professor Ibrahim Ibrahim, the cross-sector Health on the High Street Commission is setting out, not to produce another glossy vision document, but to identify practical steps to unblock the planning, financial and cultural obstacles to high street regeneration through health.
