At the heart of health: realising the value of people and communities

At the heart of health: realising the value of people and communities This report explores the value of people and communities at the heart of health, in support of the NHS Five Year Forward View vision to develop a new relationship with people and communities. It finds that person- and community-centred approaches for health and wellbeing have potential to improve outcomes for individuals, support the development of strong and resilient communities and, over time, help reduce demand on formal health and social care services.
