Share stories of social care

Strath residents are invited along to Strathearn Artspace at 2pm on Tuesday to discuss their experiences of health and social care services in the area.

Let’s Talk about Health and Care in Strathearn and Strathallan will see a short presentation followed by questions and discussion. There will be light refreshments available.

A spokesperson explained: “Health and social care in Perth and Kinross has been undergoing changes over the last year.

“An integration joint board is overseeing business. There are volunteer public partners on the board as stakeholder members. There are two principals and two reserves. Ann Gourlay and Sue Cole are carrying the user voice while Bernie Campbell and Maureen Summers speak for carers.

“The public partners are planning a visit to the Strathearn and Strathallan area to talk about their role on the board and some of their activities in the previous year.

“The redesign of health and social care services has created increasing opportunities for both people who use services and unpaid carers to be more actively involved in shaping these changes.

“As representatives of both users of services and unpaid carers we are really keen to hear the views of a wide cross section of people who live in the Perth and Kinross area.

“Lindsey Bailie, the south locality manager for Strathearn and Strathallan, will also attend.

“We hope there will be good sharing of experience, hopes and concerns as our population health and needs change.

“If you have queries please contact the public partners on 01738 567076 or email publicpartnerspkijb@ outlook.com.”
