Prevention Based Health and Care

A framework to embed prevention in the health and care system in Wales.

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.

Through creating a shared understanding of a systematic and coordinated prevention-based approach, the PBHC Framework helps to identify:

  • What action is required to achieve a common goal
  • Interdependencies and opportunities for alignment
  • Who to collaborate with to optimise collective impact

A full report to accompany the infographic  is being developed with stakeholders across the health and care system in Wales  and will be published later this year.
