• Public Health Scotland (PHS)
• Education providers and wider partners e.g., Universities
• Professional bodies, such as Royal Colleges

In addition, we will make the most of our ongoing relationships with key collaborative partners including:

Governance & Evaluation

This action plan sets out the steps we will take to support people to deliver VBH&C across our health and care system and help realise the 2030 Vision. We intend to demonstrate impact and improvement on an iterative basis. We will use the measures of success indicated throughout this plan to inform a measurement framework and delivery timelines.

As work progresses and further innovations are developed, we will be able to describe medium-and long-term measures of success, which reflect the evolving health and care landscape.

We are committed to continuing with the recovery and renewal of the NHS and Social Care systems from the pandemic, including focusing on building a more sustainable NHS and a National Care Service fit for the future. We will drive recovery and reform of services through our strengthened Delivery Plan process with NHS Boards, across the breadth of Scotland at pace.

Our work to support health and care colleagues to deliver VBH&C makes a vital contribution to the Care and Wellbeing portfolio - the overall strategic reform policy and delivery framework within Health and Social Care in Scotland. As such we expect the delivery of VBH&C to support the major health and care reform programmes designed to improve population health, address health inequalities and improve health and care system sustainability.
