Integration of health and social care is one of Scotland’s major programmes of reform. At its heart, health and social care integration is about ensuring that those who use services get the right care and support whatever their needs, at any point in their care journey. As part of delivering integrated health and social care, partnerships must develop a Strategic Plan in partnership with stakeholders.
There have already been a number of events, workshops and conversations which will influence the Strategic Plan, however a discussion and engagement event for people in Clackmannanshire has been arranged. This event will be on Wednesday 7th October, 10.00am – 12 noon in Alloa Town Hall. To register an interest in attending please call 01786 434049 or email CS.integration@nhs.net (due to fire safety regulations there is a limit to the number of people who can attend these sessions).
If you cannot attend and would like to contribute your view on what priorities should be contained with the Strategic Plan, you can write or email:
