How We Work

The following principles guide prioritisation of our actions and resources:
Health Inequalities – using data and evidence to identify and prioritise communities in greatest need

Prevention – approaches to prevent health problems from arising in the first place, prioritising those that act on the building blocks of health

Collaboration – with communities and partners to identify needs, existing resources and assets and take forward solutions in partnership

Capacity building – building knowledge and skills across the wider workforce to improve population health through specialist advice, training, development of resources and accessible communications

Advocacy and specialist advice – bringing data, evidence and skills to influence and encourage the embedding of population health outcomes into policy and practice

Sustainability – prioritising interventions that are sustainable, scalable and create the conditions for individuals, families and communities to improve their own health and wellbeing

Evaluation – ongoing monitoring, evaluation and learning from our work to share and shape future practice
