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 Delivery Plan 2011-2019.
