Settings, systems and organization development: the Healthy Living and Working Model.
This paper highlights the importance of understanding management theories to development of the settings approach to health promotion. It then provides an overview of two areas of especial pertinence: organization development and systems thinking. This is followed by the articulation of the Healthy Living and Working Model, which is proposed as a mechanism for applying the principles of the settings approach in practice within organizations. The paper concludes by pointing to future challenges in developing this Model and reiterating that facilitating improvement at the organizational level should be the defining characteristic of the settings approach to health promotion.

Multi-agency training for quality: reflections and recommendations.
Clinical governance within the National Health Service (NHS) and best value across local authorities in England have emphasised the need for decisions and actions being demonstrably evidence based. In an attempt to progress these related initiatives and facilitate a closer working relationship between NHS Trusts and local government departments, a multi-agency and interprofessional training event on evidence-based practice (EBP) was organised across three boroughs within Tyne and Wear. While there are advantages to different agencies learning and working in partnership to develop quality systems for health improvement, the reality of introducing EBP concepts and creating an evaluative culture within and across public sector organisations represents a major challenge. This article has adopted a case study approach to describe the key lessons learnt through critically reflecting on the planning and delivery of this training event, and it is hoped that it will be of value to other attempting similar projects in the future.
