NHS Health Scotland, with colleagues in the Scottish Government and Architecture & Design Scotland, have created a tool to support communities to design their place. It is called the Place Standard. We have evaluated how it has been used in the first year of implementation. We have also created a short animated film on it. We are launching both the film and evaluation report today. Information about this in this web statement.

It would be great if you could help promote the film and evaluation? We will be issuing a series of tweets from @NHS_HS today. If you could retweet that would be great, or, you might like to use any of these:

• Where we live and work impacts our health and wellbeing. Watch this film on how the #placestandard can help design better places
