Finding Out …………………

·        How do people in Highland have a say about health and health services? 

What would make it easier for people to explain to their GP or other staff what they want, or to feel confident about asking questions?
 

·        What groups are there in your area for people with particular health problems?  How are they getting on?

·        Do you have ideas about how to give people better support? 

·        How do you know if people are LISTENING?

·        What is important to YOU

·        What would make things easier for you to have your say, get involved, make things happen?

·       YOUR Views and Experiences Matter!

PARTNERS IN CHANGE

It’s about getting involved in YOUR Health Service and looking after YOURSELF

 Partners in Change is a Scotland-wide project, to help the health services get better at involving patients and relatives.

The Finding Out Week in Highland is supported by Highland Health Board, the health services in Highland and other local organisations.

People from local areas across Highland are working alongside members of the Partners in Change team, to help us meet as many people as possible.

    We can meet people in the groups they go to – lunch clubs, day centres, support group meetings.

        We can meet a few people in someone’s house.

    Or you can come along to the open meeting for tea and a chat.

  If you would like the team to meet you, please let the local contact know:

On Friday 10th August the ideas from all the local areas will feed into a big meeting in Inverness, to start planning what happens next. For more information about the Gathering, contact:
