From April 2016, Angus Council, NHS Tayside, the third and independent sectors are working together in a new Angus Health and Social Care Partnership. These organisations will share information and provide more co-ordinated services to local people. The vision for Health and Social Care in Angus is to place individuals and communities at the centre of our service planning and delivery. The work of the Partnership is overseen by the Integration Joint Board (search Angus Health & Social Care Partnership & select Integration Joint Board agendas, reports and minutes). Planning health and social care in Angus will take place in four locality Improvement Groups:

• North West (Forfar/Kirriemuir)
• North East (Brechin/Edzell/Montrose)
• South West (Monifieth/Carnoustie)
• North East (Arbroath/Friockheim)

The Locality Improvement Groups have a central role in ensuring that as integration is progressed, communities are at the centre of change and improvement. The Partnership has identified four priorities for health and social care from what has been learned from public participation, from our needs assessments and from our current performance.

• improving health, wellbeing and independence
• supporting care needs at home
• developing integrated and enhanced primary care and community
responses
• improving integrated care pathways for priorities in care

Work is progressing to provide detail for each priority and this has been identified in our Angus Strategic Commissioning Plan 2019-2022.https://angushscp.scot/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Strategic-Commissioning-Plan-2019-2022.pdf

Telephone befriending is a vital service for the community of Angus.

Our volunteer befrienders support around 120 people living in Angus each week, by calling them, having a chat and ensuring they are well and managing. Our Telephone Befriender Co-ordinator supports all befrienders and also ensures that befrienders and befriendees are suitably matched based on common interests.

Do you live in Angus? Are you feeling lonely, isolated or looking to have a chat? A conversation with one of our telephone befrienders could positively impact your mental wellbeing.

If you, or someone you know, would benefit from our telephone befriending service, email april@voluntrayactionangus.org.uk or call 01307 466113.

Your GP practice has grown.

You might have already noticed changes when you've contacted your GP practice for an appointment. Depending on your needs, a member of your newly expanded GP team may be best to help you such as a pharmacist, a physiotherapist or an Advanced Nurse Practitioner.

Angus Mental Health and Wellbeing Network (AMHAWN) is proud to be supporting ***dePreventionDay on Wednesday 10th September to promote the campaign to ‘Start the Conversation’. The aim of this campaign is to have open and honest discussions about su***de and suicidal behaviour.

Throughout next week will be raising awareness and confidence about how to talk about su***de, how to dispel the myths about su***de, and what support is available nationally and in Angus.

Let’s ‘Start the Conversation’ together.
