🏴 Building Scotland’s health equity through data, collaboration, and local action 🏴 The second report from the Collaboration for Health Equity in Scotland (CHES), in partnership with Public Health Scotland, marks another vital step forward in understanding and tackling, the social determinants of health in Scotland. 📘 Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/e8tvgt7g This report provides a powerful overview of inequalities in the social determinants of health across Scotland and within the three CHES collaborating places, framed by the Marmot 8 principles. It also analyses how resources are allocated across Scotland, and how those allocations align with varying levels of deprivation. 📌 What stands out most is how local systems are embracing the CHES approach, translating evidence into practice, co-designing local models for equitable resource allocation, and shaping place-based responses grounded in proportionate universalism. This is where the real transformation happens: when national insight meets local innovation. 💡 Key learnings from the CHES report: ➡️ Inequalities across Scotland remain deep and persistent, shaped by deprivation and disadvantage. ➡️ Resource allocation does not yet fully match the scale or depth of need, reform and flexibility are vital. ➡️ Local systems are critical in driving place-based action and adapting national learning to community realities. ➡️ Proportionate universalism works, services must be universal but delivered with intensity relative to need. ➡️ Small-area, high-quality data is essential to reveal and respond to hidden inequalities. ➡️ Health equity requires collaboration across sectors, education, housing, work, transport, and environment all matter. ➡️ Climate justice and social justice must advance together, sustainability and equity are inseparable. ➡️ Long-term, system-wide commitment is essential to achieve enduring change. The CHES collaboration is showing what’s possible when we align policy, practice, and partnership around a shared mission: to create a fairer, healthier Scotland for everyone. 👉 Learn more about what it means to be a Marmot Place: https://lnkd.in/eJtHa2A6 #HealthEquity #PublicHealth #CHES #MarmotPrinciples #DataForGood #PopulationHealth #Scotland
An overview of the Social Determinants of Health in Scotland - the second report from the Collaboration for Health Equity in Scotland (CHES) in partnership with Public Health Scotland is published today! Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/eK2ztSnK This second report provides a data overview of inequalities in the social determinants of health in Scotland and the three places, based on the Marmot 8 principles. Alongside analysis of resource allocations across Scotland and how those relate to levels of deprivation across Scotland. Next steps include the three collaborating places developing and implementing local approaches based on the CHES analysis and approach. The national system is continuing to inform and adapt to the CHES approach and the current focus is on proportionate universalism in relation to the design and delivery of programmes and in resource allocations. The CHES is also assessing the most effective national policies for greater health equity. Read more on what a Marmot place is here: https://lnkd.in/eJhw8GbA
