What of the future?

Embed the successful approaches to date with the
results from the 09-2011 health specific groups

56
Using this experience we will develop new
partnerships and innovative approaches to working
with health specific groups, tackling health
inequalities across the Cairngorms

COAT in the Cairngorms National Park will be
doing our bit to encourage, a happier,
healthier, greener, more active Scotland!
