Public Health Scotland

Public Health Scotland supports work to improve population health in Scotland. Its website publishes information, data and resources about health, prevention and inequalities and the organisation's activities.

Published information and service routes cover Scottish public health, health data and prevention and research information. Use the relevant report or service information in context. Population-level information, clinical care and an individual local service have different functions and responsibilities.

For related tasks, Public Health Scotland can be considered alongside NHS inform for scottish health information, care guidance and NHS 24 for scottish health-service information, service access. These resources cover adjoining parts of the subject; each publishes its own information and handles its own service, access arrangements or applications.
