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.

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. We are working with our partners.

How the programme works
We bring relevant health topics that matters to our community.

• Online Education and discussion with medics and others on what you need to know about specific health issues and how you can take control of your care.

All CATHIP partners have a health & wellbeing focus and support the Caribbean & African community in dealing with the disproportionate impact of health problems.
