CATHIP health hours have been delivered every Saturday since May 2020 and reached thousands of people on Zoom, Facebook and YouTube. Our programme developed in response to the ‘Stay at home’ directive where CATHIP could no longer go into churches and community spaces to reach our communities with health education and screening activities. CATHIP is a collaborative educative and empowering health literacy programme that reaches people where they are to enable them to take control of their health and to support others.

Working in Partnership

The CATHIP Health Hour sessions on Saturday mornings use medical consultants, GPs and other professionals such as nurses and pharmacists to engage community members providing information about prevention, management, and treatment. The programme also bring into panel discussions others that are important influencers of health such as faith leaders.

CAHN’s model of user engagement has been used to develop the Caribbean African Targeted Health Improvement Programme (CATHIP) which is aimed at the Black community.

This programme focuses upon those areas where there are significant risks to health.
