It feels like a long time ago that we set out with OBH- in fact, 8 years ago exactly! The original mission was to help solve one of the biggest problems in healthcare- enabling effective measurement and payment systems for prevention, and what really matters to people. In short, their health outcomes. We’ve grown over the years and the way we go about that mission has evolved, but we’re still innovating around that core purpose.
It’s been a busy year supporting the NHS in the pandemic, and we have been delighted to support some fabulous organisations in their work. Last week saw the release of the Levelling up Health Report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Longevity alongside their work on the Business for Health Index. We remain committed to supporting this work in whatever way we can.
OBH are also delighted to have worked with King’s College London on the recent flagship report addressing drivers of Multiple Long Term Conditions, published by Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation.
Thank you to OBH’s friends, supporters and team for supporting us over the last 8 years!
