Abstract

NHS Scotland manages approximately 1,572 hectares of outdoor space making it one of the largest healthcare estates in Europe. This represents a significant and largely underutilised asset with real potential to support prevention, recovery, climate resilience and community wellbeing. This policy brief sets out practical foundations for unlocking that potential. Full report available at https://doi.org/10.17868/strath.00097049.
