Public Health Wales has published its fourth Summary Calendar of International Horizon Scanning Reports. 

The reports, originally designed to help inform the evolving coronavirus public health response and recovery plans in Wales have been expanded to cover a wide range of important and up-to-date public health topics. Evidence, policies, good practice and data from other countries, as well as guidance and updates from international agencies, are brought together in each of the reports.   

The Summary Calendar presents a short and interactive overview of the five International Horizon Scanning Reports from 2023-2024, with themes including:  

• Universal Free School Meals 
• Mental Health and Wellbeing of Refugees and Asylum-Seekers.  
• Five Essential Conditions for Health Equity 
• Embedding Prevention in Primary and Community Care 
• Impact of Poverty on Babies, Children and Young People  

Each of the summaries includes an overview of the topic, international case studies, and links to related work in Public Health Wales and Welsh Government.
