Consensus Statement commits to the Making Every Contact Count approach

Public Health England, NHS England and the Local Government Association released a joint consensus statement which describes the commitment to the Making Every Contact Count (MECC) approach within the NHS, local authorities, the allied and wider health and care workforce, and relevant agencies.

The consensus statement provides clarity on what is meant by MECC, highlights the evidence base, and illustrates the population and workforce benefits of this behaviour change approach.

The statement, as well as other documents to support local implementation and evaluation of MECC activity and development of training resources can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/making-every-contact-count-mecc-practical-resources
