Some thoughts on Public Health Scotland's latest stroke statistics:

The @HealthFdn’s Common Ambition programme sought to contribute to the evidence base on how the public can take part in developing and delivering learning health care systems.
We conducted the programme #evaluation, which generated good practice learnings for others seeking to undertake community collaboration. It also generated a series of recommendations for the Health Foundation, other potential funders, and for those interested in progressing community collaboration.
These - alongside detailed insights and examples from the partnerships - can all be found in the report here 👇

Cold, damp and mouldy homes harm our health.
But right now, millions of people across the UK can't afford to heat their homes in the face of rising costs and bills.
Taking action now will start to put this right so we can live healthier, longer lives. #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay
