Healthcare Retail Standard
The Healthcare Retail Standard (HRS) is a mandatory requirement for stores in NHS settings across Scotland. It helps promote healthier food and drink options for employees, patients, and visitors, fostering a more health-conscious environment.
Understanding the Healthcare Retail Standard
Implemented in 2017, the HRS provides clear guidelines for creating healthier retail environments in NHS settings. Developed with support from leading health organisations, the standard ensures a focus on nutritious options, making every healthcare interaction an opportunity to promote better health.
