The Pathway Model
The Pathway model offers a new way to help people who are homeless. We train NHS staff to help patients access the care and support they need to recover and gain better health.
The CharityPathway Teams
Homelessness is a significant challenge for health services and the numbers of people who are homeless are increasing nationally. Published research estimates that at least 320,000 people are homeless in Britain.
