Prevention

Avoidable chronic diseases account for the greatest healthcare and social burden of disease and assessments show that investing in prevention is cost-effective and will reduce short and long -term demands on both health and social care services. 

Our focus is the prevention of cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, overweight and obesity, respiratory disease and  hypertensive disease and the shared, modifiable risk factors of physical inactivity, poor nutrition and tobacco and alcohol use.
