Your Community

Developing resilience in your community will help us manage some of the major day-to-day challenges to delivering quality patient care in remote areas, in areas of high demand, and on growing population health problems.

In 2011 the Service developed a Strategy for Community Resilience. We are committed to strengthening partnership working with community members, NHS Boards and the wider NHS, other statutory services, Volunteer Development Scotland and the voluntary sector to support and foster community resilience. This strategy sets out how the Service will take this forward.
