The outreach model for this service will build on this foundation, targeting populations with historically lower engagement to improve uptake, earlier risk identification and equitable health outcomes across the county.
This market engagement event will inform the development of a future NHS Health Checks outreach service for Hampshire that will work alongside the existing general practice-led programme. The ambition is to increase access to cardiovascular disease prevention and early identification of risk factors among residents who are least likely to be reached through traditional healthcare services. Focus will be given to underserved populations, including those with socioeconomic, ethnic and gender inequalities, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) communities, carers, those experiencing homelessness, and people employed in routine and manual occupations. The service will be expected to deliver health checks in trusted community settings and workplaces, helping to reduce barriers to access and address persistent health inequalities across Hampshire.
