Watch the second GIRFE video on the ALLIANCE's YouTube to see how Scotland is using a personalised approach to health and social care.

The ALLIANCE in partnership with Scottish Government has unveiled the second instalment in a series of informative videos designed to introduce the public to the Getting It Right For Everyone (GIRFE) approach. This latest release delves deeper into how GIRFE aims to transform health and social care across Scotland.

GIRFE represents a shift towards a more personalised system of support, placing individuals at the centre of decisions impacting their health and wellbeing.

Over the past months, the GIRFE co-design process has involved consultation with individuals and professionals alike. These conversations have highlighted the potential of GIRFE to enhance health and social care, reflecting the Scottish Government’s commitment to involving communities in decision-making processes.

The video showcases the collaborative efforts between local GIRFE Pathfinders and the Scottish Government. These Pathfinders play a pivotal role in ensuring that the co-design process genuinely represents the experiences and knowledge of Scotland’s population. By working closely with individuals and families, GIRFE aims to create a system that meets the needs of everyone in Scotland.

Testimonials within the video illustrate the real-world impact of this approach. Participants express the value of being heard and respected, with one participant noting the importance of treating people without stigma and with respect. Another highlights the necessity of involving every sector to effect meaningful change.

The GIRFE initiative is about ‘doing the right thing,’ as echoed by one Pathfinder in the video. It emphasises direct feedback, co-design, and collaboration towards solutions that work for everyone.

Watch the second video in the series on GIRFE at the ALLIANCE’s YouTube channel and see how it is impacting the health and social care of communities in Scotland.
