Health Buddies in Royds

This is the operational plan to tackle the extreme health inequalities in the Royds area of Bradford by the use of Health Buddies - a system of citizen peer support.

Author: Royds Our Place

The Royds community in Bradford is working with the NHS to tackle the extreme health inequalities in the area using Health Buddies. This is a community-based model that works to share information and expertise and tackle the causes of poor health.

This kind of community-based health education approach has worked with success elsewhere and is close to successful initiatives in developing countries where professional expertise partners with community leadership.
