Making inroads into the sustainable development goals through action research, service programme innovations, multidisciplinary partnerships and collaboration: 2 case studies.
In: NTU Strategic Research Themes Conference, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, 29 March 2023.
Abstract
The Black Report in 1980 published shocking findings of 1977 Labour Government research into the widening gap in health between richest and poorest. Even then there was talk of the need for health and social care integration and hard to reach communities. The University of Glasgow and the Glasgow Centre for Population Health (Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health October 2022) recently found austerity measures in the United Kingdom with cuts to social security and vital services led to significant excess deaths. Similar rates occur elsewhere in the UK’s deprived areas.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals Report (2022) provides a global overview of progress on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, using the latest available data and estimates. Progress is threatened by ‘a confluence of crises, dominated by COVID-19, climate change, and conflicts, are creating spin-off impacts on food and nutrition, health, education, the environment, and peace and security, and affecting all the SDGs.
Our paper explores the interlinked role of the social determinants of health and justice which underpins the SDGs. It explores innovative practices (in settings with limited resources in the UK and a low-income settings) and an emerging evidence-based practice that has the potential to make inroads into Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) specific to this paper, 1 (no poverty), 3 (good health and wellbeing), 10 (reduced inequalities), 16 (Peace Justice and strong institutions) and 17 (partnerships for the goals). The short paper will focus on community development and flag how from service delivery perspective how things can be improved through action-based research (e.g., better navigation, holistic practices, multidisciplinary partnerships, legal empowerment, collaboration, capability, legal empowerment, community development and engagement policy and funding settings). The paper discusses what might need to change in the UK.
The presenters bring insights from different vantage points of practice (public health, education, professional development, and justice) and are engaged in research and campaigns that bring about change and raise public awareness.
