Aims • To equip health workers with the knowledge and skills to become more effective role models and advocates of public health messages. • To improve the health of NHS Wales staff. • To support organisations seeking gold and platinum award status for Well Being at Work.
Why now? • The Olympics is a once in a lifetime opportunity to launch a major project. • Building on the back of the Olympics and ‘taking on the baton’ this project is designed to engage NHS Wales staff.
Why now? • ‘Together for Health’ has an emphasis on all NHS Wales staff becoming more involved in public health and on the public taking more responsibility for their own health. • Staff in the NHS are the biggest resource available for influencing patients and the public.
“It will require action on many fronts not just in the traditional health sector. We must improve the health of everyone in Wales. The people of Wales themselves will need to take more responsibility for their own health and for that of their family and community. We will give them all the support we can to do this …I invite the people of Wales to join with us in creating a Wales where health really does match the best anywhere.” Together for Health
