NHS
Western Isles is in the process of developing a plan to improve
local health services - and is working to involve and engage with
its staff and the local population to gather together a collection
of ideas to shape the way forward.
Work
to develop ideas to improve services has been ongoing since November
2006, when the initial stages to progress an outline strategy,
'Se Ur Beatha', took place. Consultation events have been ongoing
this year - but the Board is keen to get further involvement,
as a Clinical Strategy must reflect the views of the public staff
and partners.
Although
no decisions have been made yet, changes are likely to mean more
patients being seen closer to home; better patient experience
of local services; differences in the way staff are trained, organised
and work; new systems of quality assurance; and more use of telemedicine.
People
can still get involved by posting comments by emailing comments
to Clinical.Strategy@wihb.scot.nhs.uk;
or by contacting the Clinical Strategy Project Team on 01851
702997 (Ext: 3160).
