Staying Healthy

Campaigns - Health Awareness

The Public Health Directorate has an annual programme of public health awareness campaigns.  To support these campaigns, the Health Improvement Team produces a bi-monthly, downloadable Public Health factsheet, which aims to inform practitioners of good practice, evidenced based working, policy drivers, practical suggestions for delivering effective key health messages and signpost to accurate and up to date resources.
