Public Health Scotland (PHS) have published Health protection guidance: method for guidance development.
This method sets out how health protection guidance should be developed in Scotland. It combines and updates the six previous method documents grouped under the SHPN framework for health protection guidance development.
PHS have brought together all guidance for health protection within this document and simplified the process of development.
This method is intended to instruct all those involved in guidance development, in Public Health Scotland (PHS) and across the Scottish Health Protection Network (SHPN).
It is available on the PHS website and can be accessed using this link: https://publichealthscotland.scot/publications/health-protection-guidance-method-for-guidance-development/health-protection-guidance-method-for-guidance-development/
A full set of related resources (e.g. templates and forms we use in our work) is also provided: Supporting resources – Developing our guidance
Any feedback on the method can be sent to phs.guidance@phs.scot.
