This programme represents an important opportunity to engage directly with people across Northern Ireland in shaping a shared approach to health and wellbeing. At its core is a commitment to listening – to understanding what helps people stay well, what they need from services, and how we can all work together to support healthier lives in our communities.

The Programme Summary provides additional information about ‘the This is Our Health’ programme.

If you would like to discuss how you can support this programme, please do not hesitate to get in touch. You can access further information, including survey links, supporting materials and coordination of any engagement activity by emailing thisisourhealth@hscni.net.
