Population Health and Prevention

We are committed to improving the health of our communities in North Cumbria and Population Health highlights how being healthy is more than just being ill.

It’s about our physical, mental and emotional well being.

Below is an animation from The King’s Fund explaining what is a ‘population health’ approach? And what role do we all play in keeping our communities healthy?

It highlights factors such as:

– Social connections
– The places and commuities we are part of
– The services that are delivered in our neighbourhoods
– & gives various examples from different points of view
