The Hub is the UK’s first pioneering university centre that provides hospital-quality, integrated specialist care —beyond standard GP services and without requiring a hospital visit —with a dedicated focus on prevention and early intervention, all while training the next generation of healthcare professionals. It is a place where you can get free, high quality health services, and support to help you live a healthier life. We’re offering a “passport to good health” to local residents, with a special focus on three important goals:
Helping families to build healthier lives, starting in childhood.
Supporting people to get back to work and stay active.
Reducing health inequalities for everyone in our community.
Join us to learn more and share your ideas on how the Hub can best serve you and your family. We will also be hosting a mini health festival where you can get free health checks and explore some of the services on offer.
Panel Discussion: Voices from NHS leaders and clinicians, local government, academics, charities, community centres, and residents.
Worktable Sessions: Help shape priorities for prevention, community health activities, and collaborative use of space.
Shared Outcomes: Explore how community groups might be supported to use the Hub in the future, and agree next steps for healthier, fairer, and more connected neighbourhoods.

Health Literacy Awareness Online Session
2025-10-21 12:30 - 13:30 | Online Session, United Kingdom
October is Health Literacy Awareness month and like last year NHS libraries across NEL are teaming up to deliver a programme of sessions.
Nationally, 61% of adults struggle to understand health information that contains both words and numbers. In some areas of North East London the figure is nearly 80% (see Geodata – Health Literacy). This has huge implications for individuals and for our Integrated Care System.

These sessions will build participants’ awareness of personal and organisational health literacy, review local and national statistics related to the health literacy levels of our patient population, and explore tools that can be used to improve communication of health information.
This training is provided through a collaboration between several North East London NHS Knowledge & Library Services: Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, Barts Health NHS Trust, Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, and NELFT.

Being more inclusive is often a lot easier than we think, don’t believe me? Well just try our FREE training workshop and see for yourself.

Our FREE Deaf Awareness training is a great opportunity for you and your staff to break down the barriers that most deaf people face by developing Deaf Awareness and accessibility.
WHY DO YOU NEED TO BE DEAF AWARE?
Did you know that in the UK, 1 in 6 people have some degree of hearing loss? that’s about 10 million people!
Being deaf aware is a great way to promote inclusion and improve access for all deaf people and those with a hearing loss.
Our workshop will introduce the issues and barriers faced by deaf people and in turn highlight strategies to improve your understanding of the challenges facing Deaf people.
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT ME?
EDS aims to ensure all participants gain the best experience possible to support them in understanding Deaf Awareness.
Participants will come away with easy to remember communication tips and some basic knowledge of some British Sign Language all of which can be instantly put to use in their workplace improving support to those who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
This will ensure more effective communication with colleagues, customers and service users who are affected with a hearing loss, in activities and everyday situations.
WHO ARE EMPOWERING DEAF SOCIETY?
We are a deaf-led Charity based in East London, dedicated to improving the quality of life for deaf people. Our aim is to ensure that the standards of Access improve for deaf people. Access to information, justice and knowledge is key for any society to succeed.
We work with local community services and businesses to raise awareness about the Deaf community, focusing on social integration and improving communication and understanding between the two cultures of the deaf and hearing communities
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN OUR TRAINING WORKSHOP
Our Deaf Awareness training consists of two one hour Zoom sessions.
The first part consists of a one-hour presentation, introducing the issues and barriers faced by deaf people and in turn highlighting strategies to improve your understanding of the challenges deaf people face everyday in order to improve your communication skills with colleagues, customers and service users who are affected with a hearing loss.
This will then be followed by another one hour zoom session giving you an Introduction to British Sign Language Skills to use when communicating with the Deaf Community.
These sessions can be booked to run concurrently or split over different times and days.
Participants must have attended the first part of this workshop to be able to book on to the second hour – an Introduction to BSL.
