NHS Ayrshire & Arran along with the three Integration Joint Boards (IJB) of the Health and Social Care Partnerships (HSCP) in East, North and South Ayrshire, seek to deliver Caring for Ayrshire, an ambitious programme for delivery of high-quality, safe, effective and sustainable health and care services that are fit for the future.
Our Caring for Ayrshire programme aims to develop an integrated health and care service model transforming our services so that they are more accessible and provided as close to home as possible. This model will look at all aspects of health and care from birth, to end of life, with citizens being at the heart of the proposals ensuring our future services consider the changing population demographics – for example ageing population and increasing inequalities, particularly as a result of poverty – and the other key drivers that impact on service needs.
