Since 2009, Plane Sailing has been working to improve health and reduce inequalities — built on the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to live a healthier life.

Over that time, we’ve seen what’s possible when the right people, expertise and ideas come together, and the difference great public health can make to people’s lives.

Our team brings together decades of experience across prevention and health improvement, from tobacco control and alcohol harm reduction to improving physical activity, sexual health, screening and immunisations.

We’ve worked alongside health systems, government departments, local services and national partners to shape strategies, design services and pathways, develop workforces, build partnerships and turn ambition into action.

We bring together that experience with expertise across public health, clinical practice, strategy, leadership, behaviour change, communications and transformation — united by one purpose: to improve health and reduce inequalities, so more people can live healthier, happier, longer lives.

Our story

Our approach

People-centred

We start with people. We listen to the people who use, deliver and commission services, bringing different perspectives together to understand what’s needed and shape better solutions.

Evidence-led

We combine evidence, data and insight with specialist expertise and experience, using what we know works while staying curious and open to new ideas.

Practical and collaborative

We work alongside our clients and partners, not at arm’s length. We bring ideas, expertise and energy, but stay grounded in what’s achievable — working together to turn ambition into action.
