Abstract

As we face unprecedented challenges to our physical, mental, environmental and economic health, we need leaders who trail ways of working, take bold action and champion social justice for all. Across the National Health Service, as well as local government, housing, education and the voluntary sector, anchor institutions are uniquely positioned to generate economic, social and environmental impact. With insights from Lord Victor Adebowale CBE, Dame Jackie Daniel, Salma Yaqoob and Dr Dominique Allwood, the Health Anchors Learning Network explores what it takes to successfully lead an anchor approach and create healthier, more equal and just communities during times of crisis.
