Feedback from the NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care team:
Gave good understanding of poverty, impact and wider determents of health . Good section on resources to refer/connect people to.
This has built on the casework I previously did in Social Prescribing and will enable me to inform more strategic work that I now lead on, bring that lived experience to the forefront with those shaping/delivering services/solutions.
It helped me understand the definition of poverty and the impacts on the population and how as a system we can support and address.
Case study: NHS Greater Manchester
Since 2023 we have been delivering our bespoke Poverty Awareness Training to healthcare professional across Greater Manchester. Find out what the process was like, from first enquiry to delivery.
NHS Greater Manchester approached us to deliver poverty awareness training for staff in a variety of roles across the region.
We designed a training programme for staff in both frontline and strategic roles. It offered practical advice on the best ways to support people in poverty, and how we can change organisational practices to tackle poverty in a strategic way.
As with all our programmes, the training content was tailored to the context of where the organisation works and the people they work with.
We delivered both in-person and online training to 1553 healthcare professionals between 2023 and 2025, with practical resources and guidance provided to all attendees to ensure they could take the learning from the programme into their daily work.
Our training programmes are flexible, and this programme was updated and improved throughout to ensure it was always working best for the attendees.
