The Health Foundation is working to bring about change through their Healthy Lives strategy. Building on previous work, this report makes the case for a whole-government approach to improve health in the United Kingdom, and identifies some of the steps required to achieve it.

This report showcases where National Health Service (NHS) organisations are already implementing anchor practices, and outlines how decision makers across the health care system can maximise the contribution the NHS makes to the social, economic and environmental conditions that shape good health.
