The Diet, Physical Activity and Healthy Weight Team at Public Health Scotland (PHS) have been developing key messages to support the public during the COVID-19 restrictions.

The messages have been produced in collaboration with stakeholders and focus on encouraging and enabling people to maintain good nutrition, eat as healthily as possible and be active at this time. A copy of both the Diet and Healthy Weight and Physical Activity key messages are attached for your information.

These will now be disseminated via existing PHS communication channels and work is also underway to make this information available on NHS Inform as soon as possible. We would also encourage you to share these with your networks and use them where appropriate.
