The aim of the ‘Health, Vulnerability and the Hauts-de-France Region’ chair is to mobilise all stakeholders in Hauts-de-France to design, develop, implement and evaluate innovative responses to the challenges of promoting health and reducing social and regional inequalities in the face of these challenges.

An interdisciplinary and interprofessional approach

The chair will look at issues from an interdisciplinary and interprofessional perspective, bringing diverse and complementary academic skills (health sciences, humanities and social sciences, implementation sciences, etc.) together with institutional stakeholders (local professional health communities [communautés professionnelles territoriales de santé – CPTS], multi-professional health centres, university hospitals and healthcare institutions, associations, prevention structures, etc.) and regional decision makers (Agence Régionale de Santé Hauts-de-France, etc.).

It will be based in particular on the connections made by the University of Lille through the networks of healthcare professionals, the university accreditation of certain multiprofessional health centres (maisons de santé pluriprofessionnelles – MSPs) and the work carried out with certain regional professional health communities (communautés professionnelles territoriales de santé – CPTS).

Chair initiatives

The chair intends its work to be simultaneously analytical, exploratory and structural in the three areas of training, research and decision-making support.

The ‘Health, Vulnerability and the Hauts-de-France Region’ chair plans to set up series of lectures that are open to the general public as well as university degrees developed in partnership with the relevant university faculties, schools and institutes. These programmes are aimed at healthcare professionals, agencies and other stakeholders involved in prevention and health policy.

It will encourage the development of research projects in collaboration with all the stakeholders involved, such as Cifre theses in partnership with the Agence Régionale de Santé (Regional Health Agency). It will also help toevaluate public health policies and to create and implement prevention solutions for the most vulnerable populations in the Hauts-de-France region.
