We asked Grier from NHS Ayrshire and Arran for her views at our Action: The 2nd Health and Social Care Integration Event.
At our Annual Conference, Action: The 2nd Health and Social Care Integration Event on 4 June 2018, we interviewed a range of delegates to monitor their opinions on the conference and their thoughts on how to implement action in health and social care.
Grier works as Allied Health Professional (AHP) Quality Improvement & Education Lead for NHS Ayrshire and Arran (this link will take you away from our website).
We asked Grier:
If you were to prioritise one thing (and money and resource was no object) to action what would it be and how would it improve health and social care?
Grier – In order to get the best for the people of the local population the third sector organisations in that area have to be co-partners around the table and what that would also extend to include is that they need to be involved with the finance arrangements so that the contribution is recognised and valued and there are no issues around short-term funding.
