Dissemination Strategy
Dissemination Strategy
• Introduced as part of the new contract
2007-2010
• To increase identity, awareness and use of
the SHS
• Instead of fixed outputs for a fixed cost
there is now a “pot” of dissemination
money

Dissemination Strategy

“optional” outputs:
– Headline Report
