Health isn’t an individual medical issue, it's a social; political issue. That means population health improves as a result of collective not individual agency. This in turn means health improvement is about community building not signposting, referring or linking of individuals.

It’s #UNCRCScotland commencement day! A landmark day for children across Scotland, having their rights realised in law. We are committed to embedding #ChildrensRights in our work and recognise our vital contribution through workforce education and training.

"We are keen to blame anything from smartphones to social media to video games for the problems that our kids are experiencing – anything, that is, except ourselves."
