The importance to wellbeing of being connected to family, friends and communities is now embedded within integrated care thinking and policies. Approaches such as asset-based community development, social prescribing, shared lives schemes, and community navigation are helping to transform health and care systems from being deficit focussed to building on the aspirations and strengths of individuals and communities. There is, however, a risk that such approaches replicate inequalities in society through not being accessible to disadvantaged groups and working with the communities which already have the most assets. This webinar will consider how asset-based approached to integrated care can be aware of potential inequalities and pro-actively embed ways of working to address these in their practice and will include contribution from representatives from leading asset-based organisations and opportunity for discussion and debate.
