Public will be able to meet with Forth Valley chiefs

People from across Forth Valley are being invited to find out more about NHS Forth Valley’s performance over the last year and plans for the year ahead.

They will also have the chance to meet members of the NHS FV board and senior management team at a buffet lunch following the annual review public meeting.

The meeting, on December 12 in the Lecture Theatre at Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert from 12.302.30pm, aims to give patients and the general public an opportunity to hear how NHS FV performed during 2017-18 on key targets as well as find out more future plans and priorities.

NHS FV chief executive Cathie Cowan will give a short presentation focusing on some of the major achievements and challenges of the past year and highlight plans for the future. There will then be an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions, although it will not be possible to answer queries on specific patient issues.

Cathie Cowan said:“This will be my first annual review meeting as chief executive of NHS FV and I’m therefore keen to hear feedback from patients, members of the public and community groups from across Forth Valley on what matters most to them and how they would like to see health services developed and delivered in the future.”

Anyone wishing to attend should contact NHS Forth Valley by December 3 and advise of any special requirements. Please telephone 0800 456033 (freephone) or email: FV-UHB. YourHealthService@nhs. net.
