London Legacy Health Equity Partnership (LHEP) is an NHS-funded, multi-stakeholder programme for London that builds on lessons learnt from COVID and seeks to mitigate health inequalities in screening, immunisations and access to health. LHEP focused on innovative and sustainable approaches developed and delivered in collaboration with London communities and with London health partners including NHSE, UK Health Security Agency, Office for Health Improvements and Disparities, the Greater London Authority, Association of Directors of Public Health and London Councils.
London Legacy Health Equity Partnership (LHEP)
Reaching underserved communities
LHEP embedded a number of programmes and networks that use community engagement to build on health literacy and mobilise the NHS workforce to close the inequity gap and ensure communities across London aren’t left behind.
Framework and toolkit
We've worked hard to ensure learnings and insights are embedded into individual organisations and reflected in how we work with our communities.
Health networks
The Legacy and Health Equity Partnership worked with health and community partners to establish four faith and community health networks.
Evaluation
Using a mixture of models, evaluation was a key step which provided insight into the impact in working alongside communities.
