About NHS Health Scotland
NHS Health Scotland plays an important role in improving the health of everybody living in Scotland and tackling inequalities in health. Our primary focus is to work with local NHS Boards and health improvement partners in the implementation of public health and health inequalities programmes. These help meet HEAT targets, embed equality and diversity, and support national outcomes in Single Outcome Agreements.
Locally and nationally, we are an advocate for health improvement. We disseminate and explain relevant public health evidence, learning and good practice to professional audiences; we review published research and commission new research on innovations, insights and evidence; and we communicate health messages to the general public, maximising reach, understanding and impact through the most effective media, language and timing.
