Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) launched its Joint Strategic Plan for 2022-2025 last year.
Have you read it? If not, see the Joint Strategic Plan for 2022-2025.
We are now looking to see how the plan is making a difference to residents of Argyll and Bute. The plan is aspirational and ambitious and has the following four key tenets which will inform everything that we do:
- Prevention, Early Intervention and Enablement
- Choice and Control and Innovation
- Living Well and Active Citizenship
- Community Co-production (working with communities to produce local community services)
We are also delighted to be holding a number of Community Drop in Events at the following venues:
- Oban Atlantis Centre Function Room, Monday 17th April, 11:00am-1:00pm
- Campbeltown Town Hall, Tuesday 18th April, 10:30pm-12:30pm
- Lochgilphead Community Centre Hall, Thursday 27th April, 10:30am-12:30pm
- Inveraray Nicoll Hall, Thursday 27th April, 2:30pm -4:30pm

- Dunoon Queens Main Hall, Thursday 4th May, 10:30am-12:30pm

- Isle of Mull Craignure An Roth Centre, Tuesday 6th June, 11.15am - 12.45pm

We are inviting members of the public to come along to the above events to share their views on:
- How are we doing?
- What’s working well?
- What are the challenges and barriers to accessing services and what can we do different?
We are also focusing this year on Women’s Health and would love to hear about how women and girls are accessing services on sexual health, menopause and maternity services.
If you are unable to attend a drop in event then watch out for our online Vlog coming soon! We also have an anonymous online survey which everyone within Argyll and Bute is welcome to complete.
Fiona Davies, Argyll and Bute HSCP Chief Officer, said: “We know that there is a lot of work happening across the HSCP to meet the priorities within our Strategic Plan and as part of this work it is key that we continue to have conversations with our local communities to see if our transformation agenda is making a real positive difference.
“These conversations with the people of Argyll and Bute are so important and will greatly assist us in the planning and development of services over the coming months and years.
“We are also keen to find out how we are doing one year in from the launch of our Strategic Plan and whether the public feel we are keeping to our objectives and priorities outlined in the Plan.
“We know that there are lots of challenges in delivering health and social care services in a remote and rural setting such as Argyll and Bute but at the same time this provides opportunities for us to use technology, where appropriate, and increase our local community based practices. We have a real opportunity to share and spread and learn and develop the way we deliver services, preparing us for the future."
