Hello and welcome to Southampton Solent University’s health promotion service, Solent Health Spark.

What is Solent Health Spark?

Health Spark is an innovative, multidisciplinary partnership which draws upon the diverse skills of staff and students from across the University to promote health at work and beyond.

Health Spark is guided by principles from the World Health Organisation and we recognise that the settings in which people live their daily lives are crucially important in determining health and well-being.

Health Spark helps create supportive environments for health by mainstreaming healthy living into day-to-day business and life at SSU by:
