The Homeshare International Network is a learning community that enables members to:
- share news and information
- develop good practice
- share tools and resources
- work cooperatively for mutual benefit.
HI in Conversation is a bi-monthly online discussion of Homeshare topics to help meet those goals. Some conversations are restricted to Network members while others are open to anyone interested in and supporting the Homeshare concept.
Sessions are conducted in English.

HI in Conversation: the English National Health System (NHS) and how it is tackling housing & inequality through Homeshare – November 2022
Two sessions to accommodate different time zones:
- Tuesday, November 22 at 17:00 GMT / UTC (find your time)
- Tuesday, November 29 at 08:00 GMT / UTC (find your time)
What is UTC?
All time zones are defined by their offset from UTC. The offset is expressed as either UTC- or UTC+ and the number of hours and minutes.
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is often interchanged or confused with UTC. But GMT is a time zone and UTC is a time standard. Neither UTC nor GMT ever change for Daylight Saving Time (DST). However, some of the countries that use GMT switch to different time zones during their DST period. For example, the United Kingdom is not on GMT all year, it uses British Summer Time (BST), which is one hour ahead of GMT, during the summer months.
- HI in Conversation – November 2022
Join HI in Conversation in November 2022 to learn about the National Health Service and Social Care in England, and how it is tackling housing & inequality through Homeshare.
The National Health Service (NHS) and Social Care systems in England are a complex set of arrangements covering a wide range of organisations. This complexity can make it difficult for new services to engage with the NHS, especially where the service works best covering a number of organisations.
At the same time, issues around housing in England are becoming more acute covering poor quality housing driven by a lack of housing supply and strong demand. With housing being a key determinant of health outcomes, the NHS, in its role as an Anchor Institution, is driving a programme targeting health inequalities, as well as trying to solve its staff housing issues.
The session will go through a basic overview of the NHS, its role looking at housing in the aspects of health outcomes and the role that Homeshare can take to support improved health outcomes, both in England and other global health systems.
This HI in Conversation session is open to everyone. It will be led by Ian Burden, Head of Transformation, NHS England – South West with Sibel Whitehead of Supportmatch Homeshare, followed by opportunity for questions and discussion.
