Background Information
Roundtable
Discussions Series 2007
Interviews carried out as part of the Wellbeing Project in Dundee, Grimsby and Järfälla provided a valuable insight into the way professionals in those three places think, and the issues they face in promoting health and wellbeing.
What is striking is the commonality of some of those issues across the different places, professional disciplines and working cultures. Common refrains have emerged about the ‘critical success factors’ or barriers encountered in pursuing a complex cross-cutting agenda.
We are therefore holding a series of roundtable discussions with invited groups of participants from different disciplines, around Scotland. The aim of the discussions is to see if a pause for reflection – an increasingly rare and widely missed commodity – will uncover any new thinking on some familiar issues.
Future Events
Events will be organised in co-operation with local partners, and will address the population health and wellbeing issues that are most relevant in each area. A report of the key points from all of the discussions will be published at the end of the completed series.

The Scottish Council Foundation and Pfizer have been working in partnership since May 2005 to develop the Wellbeing Project programme. The centrepiece of the project so far has been the publication of Working the System – Creating a State of Wellbeing, which was released in September 2006. The report by Andrew Harris and Nicole Hastings set out to ‘develop a new framework for the development of future policy on health and wellbeing in Scotland.’
