In a bid to increase access to Health
Diagnostics’ library of published materials, a large amount of content has been made digitally available online. The contents of this library can be viewed
as online magazines through a range of devices including computers, tablets and
phones. Having been closely engaged with reporting on the national programme since its
inception, the hope is that these materials will enhance the rich
array of free NHS Health Check learning resources available online. So
what’s included in Health Diagnostics’ digital library?
The first edition of NHS Health Check
News is featured in the library, as will be a forthcoming issue. The newspaper's first issue - released at Public Health England’s
February 2014 conference - includes a range of articles that focus on issues such as the latest research and developments
in provider competencies. The centerfold features a case study on County
Durham’s Check4Life programme and documents how the ‘end-to-end’ solution is
being implemented in the North East. Click the title link to view the newspaper.
This section features the Motivational Interviewing
workbook that’s supplied to providers on training days. The workbook is intended to
give guidance and advice on how to encourage constructive lifestyle
conversations that promote positive lifestyle change. Whilst Health Diagnostics offer a number of
training materials and guides to providers, this workbook is the only example
that’s made freely available online for public use. Get in touch to find out
more about Health Diagnostics’ range of training resources.
This report contains the summary and
findings from the first NHS Health Check Leadership Forum. The forum took place
during the 2013 Commissioning Show where public health professionals came
together to share learning and experience of NHS Health Check programme
delivery. An expert panel presented the findings from a range of local projects
and public health researchers reported on the early indications from the
national evaluation.
During 2012 – amid unprecedented changes
being made to the commissioning and delivery of NHS services – Health
Diagnostics sponsored the production of the Picture
of Health reports. This series of three reports and a case study offered
clear and comprehensive information on the transition of public health from PCT
to local authority control. Produced by Andy Cowper, editor of Health Policy Insight and Achieving Commissioning Excellence, the
documents were made up of interviews with experts from around England. They
continue to offer unique insights into the commissioning and delivery of NHS
Health Checks through local authority. A case study on the North East of
England’s service model is included. Click the title link to view the reports and case study.
