Public Health Wales (PHW) have developed the Prevention-Based Health and Care (PBHC) Framework, which identifies fundamental components needed to shift the health and care system towards a prevention-based approach.
The Framework acts as an umbrella, bringing together a number of well-established approaches and is intended to be aligned to work across the system, including on inequalities, population health management, healthcare public health, health care pathways and work across sectors and national programmes to embed health in all policies.
The PBHC Framework provides a systematic approach to understand the actions required to achieve specific prevention goals. It does this by enabling identification of:
• Who needs to benefit from specific preventative action
• What preventative action is needed
• How this preventative action needs to be implemented
