Public Health in the Right Place

During the second national lockdown in Autumn 2020, Jericho convened a series of six roundtable conversations under the heading Public Health: In the Right Place? culminating in the publication Practising Connection - Public Health and the Surgery of the Future. The puns were intentional, suggesting an examination of where physically the processes of primary health care are carried out – in what sort of bricks-and-mortar surgeries – and also where it sits on the continuum of medicine and wellbeing dating back many thousands of years. “If we have one mission,” says Claire Rick, Assura’s Head of Public Affairs, “it is to try to create places – buildings and exterior environments – which move forward from the sense of a patient waiting for something to happen to them.”
