Scottish Perspective on NICE public health guidance 16: Occupational Therapy and Physical Activity
Occupational therapy interventions and physical activity interventions to promote the mental wellbeing of older people in primary care and residential care
NICE (the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) produces public health guidance for England, aimed at promoting good health and preventing ill-health. The guidance is informed by available evidence on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of programmes or interventions, using a highly developed and rigorous process. Account is also taken of stakeholders’ views and fieldwork. NHS Health Scotland produces ‘Scottish Perspectives’ on such guidance to enable the action recommendations, adapted or amended if considered appropriate, to be used to support the development and implementation of policy and practice in Scotland. Details of, and electronic links to, relevant Scottish policies, strategies and action plans are provided. The Scottish Perspectives do not constitute formal guidance.
This is the Scottish Perspective on NICE public health guidance 16, which was published in October 2008 and recommends actions under four headings: occupational therapy interventions, physical activity, walking schemes, and training.
