NHS Lanarkshire’s Health Improvement Department provides various resources including groups, services and activities to support individuals and communities at every stage of life. Our work is focused around six public health priorities that enable individuals to understand, engage and develop in order to fulfil potential and optimise health for themselves, families and communities. Working alongside NHS staff, local authorities, and third sector organisations and groups within the community, we address health inequalities and improve the health and wellbeing of the Lanarkshire population, with the most vulnerable communities at the core of our discipline. Programmes include work and training opportunities to address Poverty, Homelessness, Weight Management, Mental Health & Wellbeing, Health Promoting Health Service, Early Years, Sexual Health and Blood Borne Viruses, Cancer Screening Programmes, Gender-Based Violence and Stop Smoking Services.
