Community Health & Wellbeing Profiles for Greater Glasgow and Clyde

In 2008, the GCPH published a set of community health profiles building on the success of similar health profiles produced by NHS Health Scotland in 2004. 

Profiles were produced for 10 Community Health (and Care) Partnership within the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde area. As well as presenting information for the whole community, the same set of indicators are provided for smaller areas within each community.   

The indicators used in the profiles are based on a socioecological model of health and include a combination of health outcomes (e.g. deaths, hospitalisations) and health determinants (e.g. behaviours, socioeconomic factors).  

What is the purpose  of these profiles?

It is the intention that these profiles serve a number of purposes, including:

  • providing organisations and communities with up-to-date and locally relevant public health intelligence;
  • highlighting health and social inequalities;
  • showing trends in key indicators;
  • providing local level information for targetting resources and priority setting; and
  • developing knowledge of the complex nature of health and its determinants.

 

Profiles are available for the following:
