Health Promoting Health Service: Action in Hospital Settings
CEL 01 (2012) Health Promoting Health Service: Action in Hospital Settings is the current policy driver for HPHS work and builds on the work of CEL (14) 2008 Health Promoting Health Service: Action in Acute Care Settings which asked all NHS Boards to ‘implement specific promoting actions on smoking, alcohol, breastfeeding, food and health, and health at work to support health improvement in the acute care setting’. The CEL 01 (2012) extends these original aspirations and range of actions to include sexual health and active travel and also includes community hospitals in the settings targeted.
For examples of how health improvement can be applied in clinical settings, please view the HPHS support suite which includes professional profiles with eKSF examples, case studies and briefing papers.
