Get Involved
People are at the heart of everything we do.
We believe that it is really important to be able to communicate and engage with our many, varied and complex stakeholders to ensure transformation and improvement in health and social care is informed, influenced and co-designed by people who use services, their families and unpaid carers, communities, staff and our wider partners.
Public services have been charged by the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act to strengthen local democracy and citizen participation. This can only be achieved by providing people with opportunities to influence and change both current and future services.
It is recognised that public services which engage with those who use or have an interest in their services are likely to be able to deliver better, more response services which are more relevant to the communities they serve and improve outcomes.
Strong and effective relationships are particularly important at this time of significant challenge for public services. With increasing demand and difficult funding decisions having to be made, it is vital our focus reflects the priorities of our residents.
Communicating and engaging with people, empowering them to do more to improve their own health and wellbeing and actively involving them in decision making and in service planning, design and delivery, is central to enabling health and social care services to be more responsive in meeting the needs of our communities and to improving the quality of life of our citizens.
There are a range of ways to get involved - from feeding back on your experiences of a service or ideas for improvement, to responding to surveys, questionnaires and consultations to give your views and comment on decisions; participating in workshops, focus groups and panels in order to identify opportunities to develop solutions, innovate and improve services.
