Heading 2

Public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through the organised efforts of society.

The 2025 Director of Public Health Annual Report for the Western Isles describes the work of the NHS Western Isles Public Health Team throughout the year. It highlights the meaningful difference the work has made to people living and working in the Western Isles n a variety of ways.

It also incorporates feedback, expressing gratitude for the training, campaigns, resources, interactions, advice, and support delivered by the NHS Western Isles Public Health Team. In all that the team has achieved, and will continue to achieve going forward, people are at the centre.
