The 9th December 2009 will see the launch of a new commissioning guide for promoting health and well-being by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH). The launch will take place in central London and will bring together many noted public health professionals including Sir Muir Gray, Director of The National Knowledge Service who will give the keynote speech.
The Guide, which has been developed by the RSPH in partnership with the National Social Marketing Centre, with funding from the English Department of Health, will be available to download, for free, from the RSPH website(www.rsph.org.uk/commissioning) on the day of the launch. RSPH will also work to support the Guide with national dissemination and training via its courses.
Practical and accessible, the Guide is based on the many developments that have taken place in the practice of health promotion and social marketing in recent years. It draws on an integrated model of health promotion and social marketing. The value and characteristics of effective health promotion and social marketing are explained, and the Guide includes tools and techniques to help to attain those characteristics, as well as case studies of how to commission to achieve the best outcomes.
