Resources
A key aim of Developing Leadership and Governance for Healthy Universities was to generate and disseminate web-based guidance tools and case studies, now available as part of a toolkit.
This section of the site provides resources for ‘getting started’ for universities that are interested in taking a whole university approach to health and wellbeing, and a list of publications that may be of interest to anyone involved in this area of work.

“The higher education sector has a critical responsibility to play its part in improving the health and wellbeing of populations…It makes up a very large workforce; it also has captive within it a very large group of students and learners…So there’s something here about being exemplary in how it behaves in promoting health and wellbeing as an organisation, and secondly how it promotes it through learning and knowledge transfer.” (Professor Mala Rao, Former Head of Public Health Workforce and Capacity, Department of Health)
