We are a free and confidential NHS service to help you understand, protect and improve the health and wellbeing of your workforce. We also help you support employees with health problems to remain in work or return to work.​

Our programmes and services are delivered by Public Health Scotland (external site)​​ in partnership with Scotland's 14 local NHS Boards.​
