Haringey Homeless Health Inclusion Team
Bridging the gap to increase homeless patients’ access to primary care
The Haringey Homeless Health Inclusion Team is a multidisciplinary health service which provides holistic support to people experiencing homelessness or rough sleeping in Haringey.
Our goal is to reduce health inequalities by improving access to mainstream primary care amongst the homeless population in our borough.
