Scotland’s Population Health Framework

The Population Health Framework sets out Scottish Government’s and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities’ (COSLA’s) long-term collective approach to improving Scotland’s health and reducing health inequalities for the next decade.

This Framework is for all with a role to play in creating and maintaining good physical and mental health and wellbeing. It represents a shift in culture, from treating illness to prevention and a more whole system approach to improving health. It is the beginning of a live programme of change and improvement, with clear initial actions across the drivers of health and further actions to come over the ten-year period.

The framework is based on five key interconnected prevention drivers of health and wellbeing:

• Prevention Focused System
• Social and Economic Factors
• Places and Communities
• Enabling Healthy Living
• Equitable Access to Health and Care

Within the framework, several initial actions are also outlined.
