This method sets out how health protection guidance is 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).
