Health Promotion



Health Promotion Fife is a crucial part of the developing Public Health workforce. Its aim is to work towards improving health and wellbeing and reducing inequalities in health amongst people of all ages who live and work in Fife.

Health Promotion seeks to bring about positive change in population health and wellbeing by drawing on all relevant thinking frameworks (e.g. social, medical, education etc) and perspectives to promote good physical, mental and social health. It acknowledges that people need more than knowledge and skills to make appropriate choices concerning their health and so works in partnership at all levels with other agencies to improve life circumstances. The work can be divided into 4 main areas:

  • Education and Training
  • Specialist advice
  • Hands on help i.e. project planning and management, capacity building
  • Information, resources and graphic design

Health Promotion Fife champions this intellectual and skills based approach combined with a positive can do attitude in order to lead and support good practice in partnership working to effect change.
