Planning Skills - Place & Wellbeing

The Improvement Service and Public Health Scotland have recently published a briefing on "Place and Wellbeing: integrating land use planning and public healthin Scotland". The briefing raises awareness of the impact that the places where people live, work and play have on their health and wellbeing. It provides practical guidance for land use planners, public health practitioners and policy makers to work together, using a whole systems approach to improve health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities.

This webinar will introduce the briefing and the opportunities for collaboration that it is designed to support. We will also hear from colleagues in spatial planning and public health about how they have worked together in practice and there will be time for Q&A with the panel.

This webinar will be presented by:
- Susan Rintoul, Planning for Place Project Officer at the Improvement Service
- Emma Doyle, Health Improvement Manager for Place at Public Health Scotland
- Margaret Douglas, Co-Director of the Edinburgh University Master of Public Health Programme, Honorary Consultant in Public Health at Public Health Scotland and Chair of the Scottish Health and Inequalities Impact Assessment Network.
- Gary Templeton, Strategic Planning and Development Manager at Moray Council
