• The Public Health Strengths and Risks Self-Assessment Tool to support system leaders in local authorities in defining and ensuring good public health at place
• A suite of publications, called What Good Looks Like setting out the guiding principles of what good quality looks like for population health programmes in local systems
• The Toolkit for Implementing Quality in Public Health: A Shared Responsibility to map individual quality improvement resources to the overall Quality in Public Health document and facilitate local use
