A series of events will be held for members of the public to share their views on the future of mental health services in Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC), in partnership with local Health and Social Care Partnerships, has organised face-to-face and online sessions to invite people to have their say on how services are delivered.
Feedback gathered during these sessions will be used to help plan services for patients and carers, and to improve the way these are delivered. It follows a survey earlier this year which found people want to see an increase in community-based mental health services and resources, and more support for people to self-manage their conditions.
As part of its refreshed Mental Health Strategy 2023-28, NHSGGC is looking at how it can deliver this, and how it currently provides inpatient mental health services. They are also reviewing inpatient mental health services to shift care from institutional, hospital-led services to local community-based settings. This should allow services to be delivered earlier and reduce the need for inpatient care by providing care closer to home.
Public engagement events are being held throughout August and September. Some of these are ‘drop-in’ sessions, with people invited to turn up on the day, however a booking system is in place for some other sessions due to the size of the venues. Please see the list below for further details.
There will also be an online session in the evening of 23 September 2024 to allow those unable to attend in person to participate.
You can find a full list of the public engagement sessions on the NHSGGC website.
To register for any of the sessions indicated, please click here. You can also phone 0141 201 4435 and leave a voicemail stating your name and the event(s) you wish to register for.
Anyone with accessibility requirements should contact public.involvement@ggc.scot.nhs.uk in advance of attendance to ensure these can be addressed.
