Together We Care

NHS Highland's 5 year strategy 2022-2027.

Together We Care - with you, for you

Cùram Còmhla - leatsa, dhutsa

During 2022 we engaged with you, our workforce, to understand what you think we should prioritise for health and care delivery over the next five years. We also asked our partners, communities and wider population what they felt was important. We have had a great response from over 1700 people and an additional 45 informative sessio​​ns with our community groups and partners.

Thank you, to all of you who contributed and engaged with us! Your input allowed us to identify key areas that you felt we should prioritise. We have turned these into ambitions and have created our Board-wide strategy: Together We Care, with you, for you.

To ensure we stay on track with the implementation of the strategy we have also written an Annual Delivery Plan (ADP) which outlines goals and aims for each year, covering all areas of the strategy. We are looking forward to working on our ADPs to achieve the ambitions that you have said are most important to the future of health and care in NHS Highland.​

NHS Highland Third Sector Funding 2025-28 Round

NHS Highland are seeking applications from third sector and community groups who can help to deliver services, projects, and activities against the following priorities to achieve better outcomes for the people of Highland.

Developed in consultation with the third sector in April and May 2024 the following priorities are at the core of what NHS Highland is hoping to achieve through its commissioning process.  

  • Living Well: People living with a long term condition are supported to better take control of their own health and wellbeing and have access to activity, services and support that enables them to live well and stay well.  
  • Staying Well: People living in our communities, particularly older people, are supported to live well, more independently and at home for longer.   
  • Value Well: People in Highland who act as an unpaid carer for a loved one are valued, able to collaborate in a way that recognises their experience and that they have support to help them have positive experiences and feel recognised. 

A single application process will open on 15 July 2024 and will close on 15 August 2024, with funding available as follows: 

  • 1 April 2025 – up to a maximum of 3 years and no more than £49,999 per annum. 
  • Activities that support adults (over the age of 18) living in Highland.  
  • Activities should be able to deliver against one or more of the above priorities.
