HEALTH PROMOTION TOOLKIT FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN SAUDI ARABIA

Abstract

Health promotion is an effective way to change and transform improvements in health. By enabling people to change their behaviour and improve health the outcomes from diseases and illnesses can be improved.

This toolkit gives health professionals in Saudi Arabia the information and change tools needed in managing a health promotion project. It is also a guide through the project process including ways to implement and evaluate change using a practical approach. This includes:

• Practical ways of scoping work initially and building a business case
• Ways of broaching the subject in practice
• Ways of getting change into practice in a cost effective manner
• Outlining tried and tested methodologies
• Looking at ways of reframing work currently in existence to re focus on an issue

Ultimately this toolkit is all about making a difference.
