CLINICAL HEALTH PROMOTION CENTRE

Welcome

​Welcome to the Clinical Health Promotion Centre, a WHO Collaborating Centre with Lund University and Region Skåne, for the Implementation of Evidence-Based Clinical Health Promotion focusing on Alcohol, Tobacco, Drug, Malnutrition, Overweight, Physical Inactivity and Comorbidity (noncommunicable diseases).

​

​Our Mission

"A critical stage in life is when a person becomes a patient and enters a short or longer clinical pathway. To undergo treatment is stressful, both physically and mentally. To improve patient treatment and promote a faster recovery is therefore important, both for the patient and society"

  - Professor Hanne Tönnesen

Our mission is to work towards better health gains for patients, staff and community via the following avenues of clinical health promotion:

​

• Fast-track implementation of patient-centered health promotion

• Research, education, networks, communication and programs for integrated clinical pathways

• Establishing evidence and translating into practice:

  • by collecting evidence to be used for fast-track  implementation

  • by disseminating evidence and tools
