World Health Innovation Summit CIC

The World Health Innovation Summit (WHIS) aims to relieve the pressures on health services by giving our communities the tools to take care of their own physical and mental well-being... from childhood through to old age. Ultimately we hope to change the way people think about their health, physically and emotionally. Giving them the ownership and the tools to make a difference.Inspire and inform people in their communities to implement change to improve their health and wellbeing WHIS is a platform that brings patients, clinicians, managers, voluntary sector, edu- cation and the business community together to create value while supporting our health and social care services. Based in the heart of Cumbria [UK] WHIS identified that people in the community would be better supported if they had more access to holistic solutions in their locality. Taking a person centred health approach (prevention), WHIS recognised that there are four key cornerstones all of which needed to be supported at the same time by the same people: Economy, Education, Environment and Ecosystems.
