Population health is an approach aimed at improving the health of an entire population and reducing health inequalities, by applying effective interventions throughout the delivery of health and associated care. It is about optimally using the resources we have to improve the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of the whole population. It includes action to reduce the occurrence of ill-health, including addressing wider determinants of health, and requires working with communities and partner agencies.
