This week’s HLINks: 27 – 1 July 2022

Jeremy Porteus

Welcome back to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and our must-read weekly bulletin HLINks.

This week's HAPPI Hour was in association with ASH (Action of Smoking and Health) on the findings the recent ‘Smoking and social housing: Supporting residents, addressing inequalities’ report. A big thank you to our speakers who shared some of the innovative practice being undertaken on this issue from across the country. Missed it? The recording and speaker presentation slides are now available here.

It was also great to be back at the CIH annual conference in Manchester after 3 years and to catch up with several Housing LIN members in person there. I was also delighted to be invited to chair the session on Technology for an Ageing Population on the Connected Futures Stage (opens new window). I was joined by TAPPI partner, Alyson Scurfield from TSA, Shirley Hall from ExtraCare Charitable Trust, Natalie Record from the Connected Places Catapult, Fiona Brown from North East ADASS and Dr Vikki McCall from the University of Stirling.
