Community-centred public health: taking a whole system approach

PHE’s Healthy Communities Team have today published Community-centred public health: taking a whole system approach.

They have conducted research into current practice across local systems and have produced a suite of resources which are intended for use by local authority, NHS and VCS decision makers, to help them to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of action to build healthy communities, and embed community-centred ways of working within whole systems action to improve population health.

These resources include:

• a briefing paper with a summary of the findings;
• a blog for Public Health Matters on GOV.UK;
• a presentation on the main findings, a collection of practice examples, and a list of alternative whole system frameworks vailable through the PHE online library.
