Ambitions for health - a strategic framework for maximising the potential of social marketing and health-related behaviour (9th July 2008)
This strategic framework sets out how the DH plan to work together with key leaders in the public health community to embed social marketing principles into health improvement programmes. Its also illustrates the practical tools they are developing to build social marketing competencies and capacity in England. It sets out how they will make sure that all of their policy development and public health interventions are informed by their understanding of what motivates people. In turn, this will enable them to build on our successes and ensure that they become a world leader in promoting health.
