Welcome

Welcome to our engagement hub for our developing strategy. A strategy is our shared direction for the future, where we're heading and how we'll get there together. This new 10 year strategy will build on our learning and success from Together We Care, and focus on how we can work together to prevent people in Highland, Argyll and Bute becoming unwell.

We know that health needs are becoming more complicated. Over the next 20 years, we expect large increases in cancers, heart disease, and dementia. We also know that poorer people in our communities are more likely to become ill or die earlier. This is not what we wish for our communities in Highland, Argyll and Bute. If we act now, together we can create a health system that focuses on preventing ill health for everyone.

Creating healthier communities means we have to think about working with others who have a role to play. Healthcare - the work done in hospitals, GP practices, and care settings - is important, but it's only one part of what keeps us healthy. The bigger part comes from the building blocks of health in our everyday lives. These are things like where we live, whether we can afford to heat our homes and buy healthy food; our connections with family, friends and neighbours; access to learning opportunities and meaningful work and our surroundings.

This means that to improve health, we need to work beyond traditional healthcare and influence all the things that shape people's chances for healthy lives.

Sharing your views will help us understand what is affecting your health. If you want to keep up to date with the latest progress of our new strategy, register at the link below. Together We Care showed us what we can achieve when we work together with our communities. This strategy is our chance to create a healthier future for everyone in the NHS Highland area.

Thank you

  • To support a society in which everyone can live a fulfilling and healthy life, we need all the right building blocks in place.  This means that to improve health, we need to work beyond traditional healthcare and look at how we can make a difference to all the things that shape people's chances of living healthy lives.    We recognise that we cannot achieve this in isolation.  We are therefore seeking your views as an organisation contributing to the health and wellbeing of people in Highland, Argyll and Bute.  We would be grateful if you could answer all questions in the context of our goal to improve the health and wellbeing of the population.
