In response to, and support of the Editorial by Pekka Puska in the August 2007 edition of the Journal (Health in all Policies. European Journal of Public Health 2007;17(4):328), this article describes the Heart of Mersey (HoM) cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention programme, which aims to improve the health of the local population by tackling inequalities via structural changes at regional, national and European level. Principally, the programme advocates that health improvement will be achieved primarily through healthy public policy, effective partnership and community integration.
