People experiencing homelessness face some of the worst health outcomes and often rely heavily on emergency care. The Bridging the Health Gap report highlighted the key role that homelessness services play in encouraging people to engage with health care.
In Episode 2 of the Going Beyond podcast, we are joined by Taylor Haws, Specialist Health Lead at Single Homeless Project along with Oscar Fricke and Jan Teeuwisse from Groundswell, who are both currently subcontracted into the NHS as inclusion health care coordinators/navigators. We talk about the barriers people experiencing homelessness face in accessing physical health care and think about how frontline workers can approach conversations about health.
