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 safety and promote a faster recovery is therefore important, both for the patient and society"

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
-
