About the programme
This is our health is a public conversation about how we can work together to help people in Northern Ireland live longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Most of what shapes our health happens in everyday life, at home, with family and in our communities. It’s not just when we come into contact with health and social care services.
At the same time, there are moments when services matter hugely, and when they need to work well, quickly and reliably.
This work is about understanding both and exploring where each of us is best placed to make a difference.
More information
This is our health is a new public engagement programme led by the Department of Health, with support from the Public Health Agency and HSC partners. Its aim is to listen to people and start developing a shared “health and care promise” — an agreement between the public and the HSC system about how we can all play a bigger part, so people can live healthier lives and services can focus their efforts where they are needed most.
