At VHS, we are thrilled, but not surprised, to see health equity and the shift to prevention as central pillars of the Public Health Scotland 10-year strategy published this week.

ALT A graphic sharing a quote from VHS Chief Executive Tejesh Mistry: "Paul Johnston, CEO and Ally Boyle MBE (Chair) of Public Health Scotland continue to show valuable leadership across sectors to address health inequalities in Scotland. We welcome the focus on inequality, progressing a prevention-focussed approach, striving to create and enable health living and above all, the genuine 'side by side' collaboration that we know is required to improve population health."
