Editor's Notes
- What we think Health Champions have in common is That they are people who voluntarily bring their life experience, their unique qualities and skills and most importantly their ability to relate to people in their community to promote health in different communities. And they do this in many different ways – within their families, with their friends and neighbours, in their workplaces, in community centres, in patient groups, in a 1000 different ways
- Include picture of people centred public health
- The core of health care lies in the conversations that patients have with clinicians and other health workers. A productive way to improve the whole health service would be to explore how it needs to organise itself if it is to support really good conversations with its patients and its community. A group including GPs, patients and practice staff took an asset based approach to the practice list and drew on the resourcefulness of their local communities. Volunteers were trained and supported to work with the practice as Practice Health Champions on the things that matter to both the practice and the community. The results and the potential for change were beyond our ambitions.
