Using the NHS Health Check programme to prevent CVD

How the NHS Health Check is playing an important role in the prevention and early detection of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in England. Using the NHS Health Check programme to prevent CVD

A guide to our new health equity collections page

People living in the most deprived areas can expect to spend nearly 20 fewer years in good health compared with those in the least deprived areas. This fact is avoidable, unjust and summarises the scale of health inequality in England today. PHE has produced a number of evidence reviews, tools and guidance to help support national, regional and local areas to reduce health inequalities. For the first time, all of these resources have been brought together in one location: the Health Equity Collections page. This will make it easier to find data, evidence and tools on health inequalities, and therefore be better equipped to take effective action to reduce it.

Developing an Evidence Informed Workplace Wellbeing Index

The What Works Wellbeing Centre with the DWP have developed a simple diagnostic tool that identifies the drivers of workplace wellbeing and helps an employer understand which factors may contribute to higher or lower wellbeing at work. While research continues into the many factors that influence wellbeing in the workplace, enough is known to have developed a simple model that several organisations, including BT, have adopted. This evidence-based model identifies five main drivers of wellbeing in the workplace, in order of importance: (1) Health, Relationships (both drivers ranked of equal importance); (2) Security, Environment (both drivers ranked of equal importance); and (3) Purpose.
