Public Health Good Practice Scheme

The Public Health Wales Good Practice Scheme is changing

Could you benefit from gaining support in developing your initiative towards good practice?

Would you like to raise the profile of your work and gain recognition for your achievements?

Do you believe that there is a benefit to sharing your practice and learning from others practice – that in sharing we succeed?

The Physical Activity and Nutrition Networks Wales in collaboration with the All Wales Sexual Health Network and the All Wales Mental Health Promotion Network are now accepting submissions for the Public Health Good Practice Scheme.

The Public Health Good Practice Scheme is an approach that supports all practitioners, organisations and sectors involved health promotion, health improvement and community health development initiatives in the fields of nutrition and physical activity, mental health promotion and sexual health. The scheme consists of a good practice database, quality mark, awards and provision of support. It rewards good practice and will provide a systematic approach to sharing information about initiatives on the scheme in order to prevent duplication, enhance learning and enable decisions about what initiatives to adopt or develop.

The scheme was launched at regional workshops in October and November 2010 following a successful pilot earlier in the year.

The presentations from the workshops are available to download: 

• Public Health Good Practice Scheme Introduction Presentation – Malcolm Ward 
• Case Study Presentation – Adam Jones
