It’s Not Integrated Care Without Housing

15th July 2025

What if housing teams had access to the same health insights as care providers? In this episode, Peter Skinner, Programme Director for Digitising Social Care at NHS England, lays out what it really takes to connect housing, health, and care — and why doing so is essential, not optional. 

Key takeaways include: 

  • How GP Connect and the upcoming Interoperability Platform are quietly transforming joined-up care — enabling housing teams to spot risks earlier and act faster. 

  • Why data isn’t just for dashboards: real-time sensor input (e.g. humidity, temperature) is opening doors to preventative interventions in social housing. 

  • The surprising impact of digital care records on frontline experience — freeing up time for better care and boosting staff satisfaction. 

  • A call to align housing with the “neighbourhood health” agenda, making local insight count.
