Public engagement

Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) recognises that effective engagement is essential to the delivery of health and social care services and fundamental in supporting the HSCP to achieve its vision, ambitions and deliver on its key strategic objectives.

Effective engagement ensures decisions are informed by community needs and aspirations whilst balanced against available resources. It provides a platform for stakeholders to have their voices heard, their views considered and acknowledged, as well as strengthening relationships and building community capacity.

The HSCP has adopted the You Said, We Did philosophy which supports building relationships with our communities, partners and staff.

We have outlined below some of the key information about public engagement in Argyll and Bute. If you would like more information about anything then please feel free to contact us:

Conversation Cafés

In 2019 the HSCP began using events called Conversation Cafés as a way of informing people about health and care services in their local area and asking for views and feedback. These events are advertised locally and take place regularly throughout our communities.
