Register for Launch of Neurological Programme at the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland

ALLIANCE Neurological Programme

Launch of Neurological Programme at the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland This new programme, funded by the Scottish Government aims to strengthen the voice of the neurological community and build capacity of the third sector to contribute to the development and implementation of policy and practice.  With the integration of health and social care it is important that programme activities work across sectors to highlight issues and ensure people are listened to at individual, local and national levels.  To develop and realise this programme the ALLIANCE will work in partnership with people living with neurological conditions, their carers and families and the organisations and staff that support them. Do you live with a neurological condition or care for someone who does?  Does your organisation support people who are living with neurological conditions?  There are several ways to get involved: ·         Attend one of our stakeholder or network events (see below) ·         Subscribe to our ebulletin ·         Email gillian.fergusson@alliance-scotland for more information and to share your views Programme aims The Neurological Programme aims to: ·         Develop a strong neurological community across the ALLIANCE membership and programmes ·         Increase the impact of the voice of people living with neurological conditions ·         Engage with Health and Social Care Partnerships ·         Support implementation of the National Clinical Strategy  Events Our Stakeholder event is aimed at organisations who support people living with neurological conditions and their carers.  The event will present an opportunity to meet others working in the sector, to hear about the programme and to contribute comments and ideas on the priorities for neurological conditions.. Please join us on the 28th July 10am – 12pm at the ALLIANCE offices.   The Involvement Network event is looking for people with lived experience of neurological conditions to come forward and share their views and experience to help influence policy and practice.
