An introduction to Getting It Right for Everyone (GIRFE) part 2

Getting It Right For Everyone (GIRFE) is a new initiative to improving health and social care in Scotland. In this video, we delve into the co-design process, hearing from both individuals with lived experience and professionals shaping GIRFE. Learn how GIRFE prioritises personalisation, putting individuals and families at the forefront of decision-making.

Discover how GIRFE aims to empower communities, address individual needs, and pave the way for a healthier, more inclusive Scotland.

Europe Day

We marked Europe Day, capturing individuals at a recent event on what Europe Day means to them and why it matters. We’re reminded of the importance of conversations, cooperation and participation.  

ALLIANCE Live Podcast – The Right to Health Special

Following on from the publication of our report, “⁠Investigating Knowledge and Understanding of the Right to Health⁠” and to celebrate World Health Day⁠, in this episode we explore what the right to health is and what it looks, and could look like, for people and practice across Scotland.

We know that everyone in Scotland has the fundamental right to “the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health” according to the World Health Organisation and under International Law. However, high levels of health inequalities continue to exist in Scotland compared with the rest of the UK and Europe.

We chat with experts including Dr Rebecca Mason from ⁠Young Women’s Movement Scotland⁠, GP Fellow at the University of Glasgow and ⁠Deep End GP⁠ Dr Marianne McCallum, Dr Tony Robertson of the ⁠People’s Health Movement⁠ and the University of Stirling, and ⁠CEMVO⁠’s Human Rights Officer Clare Gallagher.
