Healthy Shetland is NHS Shetland’s Health Improvement Team — supporting people, families and communities to live healthier lives.
Our Vision
Shetland is home to healthy, resilient, empowered and inclusive communities. The health and wellbeing of individuals and families improves for future generations, particularly for those experiencing unfair differences in life expectancy and health outcomes.
How do we do this?
We provide training, a range of services, information and resources. We also work with partner organisations to lead and support projects, campaigns and activities aimed to support local communities.
We provide specialist advice, information and initiatives on a range of topics including food and health, mental health, tobacco issues and workplace health.
