Hi,
In Scotland there are a few possible outlets you could contact.,
including:
Forth Valley Health Information Service-
Forth Valley Local health Council has a service level agreement with
Forth Valley Health Board to manage this service which has a shop front
premises in Stirling town centre.
Orkney Health Promotion -
The Health Information Centre operating out of shop front premises in
Kirkwall Orkney, is part of the Health Board Health Promotion Department
and provides a free drop-in and telephone information service to anyone
living or studying in Orkney.
Health Promotions, Aberdeen -
Opened on Union Street in Aberdeen in December 1996. These shop front
premises of Grampian Health Board Health Promotions provides a wide
range of information. Just opened similar premises in Elgin.
Highland Health Council Health Shop -
Operating out of High Street premises in Alness.
Eastbank Health Promoting Centre -
Set up in March 1996 and funded by Greater Glasgow Health Board Health
Promotion Department. Among other services the Centre houses a resource
centre with a collection of leaflets, reference materials and details of
self groups etc.
As part of my Masters dissertation I've put together a brief profile of
each service (and others not operating on the High Street). I've also
got references to other services based down South. Let me know if you'd
like a copy or contact details for any of these services.
Regards,

Can anyone help?
I am trying to find out the location and contact details of Health
Living Outlets. By Healthy Living Outlet, I mean a location in the high
street that provides the general public with information and products in
a wide range of health and lifestyle areas. It may also offer services
such as smoking cessation classes, advice about weight loss etc.
Although my interest is primarily in the UK, contact details of such
organisations elsewhere would be of great interest.
Many thanks for your help.
Dr. Simon Wallace
