Public Health Scotland

Leading and supporting work across Scotland to prevent disease, prolong healthy life and promote health and wellbeing.

We’re Scotland’s national public health organisation and this strategy sets a clear direction to deliver that improvement, one that’s:
• ambitious
• collaborative
• grounded in evidence

Our 10-year strategy to 2035 is our commitment to Scotland. It’s a promise, not a list of aspirations. It says why, what and how we’ll deliver change and the actions for which we expect to be held to account.

By 2035, we want to:
• improve average life expectancy by at least 1 year
• narrow the gap between the poorest 20% of areas and the national average
