Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT 2013

32 Previous Next


During 2013 the organisation has continued to grow significantly. We have expanded our range of work but with the same aim of contributing to better lives with, and for, people who are disabled or who live with long term conditions and unpaid carers.

We have significantly strengthened our membership during 2013 with members now numbering nearly 500. In addition to many new member organisations we were delighted to welcome over 160 new ALLIANCE Professional Associates from health, social care, government and academia. Just as important are the organisations and individuals who have long been involved in the ALLIANCE and who continue to be active members.

Over the past year the ALLIANCE has launched a number of important programmes. As part of the National

Person Centred Health and Care Programme we have established the People Powered

Health and Wellbeing initiative, bringing together expertise to

support co-production in health and social care. We have

also undertaken a related programme to foster

better integration across Allied Health Professionals and the third sector.

As health inequalities continue to represent one of the biggest challenges in Scotland, we are pleased to have launched a new Links Worker Programme, in partnership with GPs working in areas of socio-economic deprivation. This initiative is grounded in asset based approaches, self management and enhancing connections between statutory services and the third and community sectors. In a similar vein we have seen key developments in the innovative ALISS (A Local Information System for Scotland) programme.

Having been involved in the early development of the Self Management Fund I am delighted that we have been able to continue that crucial investment, on behalf of the Scottish Government, into real people powered activity that makes a big difference for many of the 2 million people who live with long term conditions.

There is so much fantastic work, and so much still to do. Fundamentally though it is about us all working together, as mutual partners, shaping the future with people at the centre of all we do. What could be more important than that.

Audrey Birt Chair of the ALLIANCE Board

Chair’s Foreword

Previous Next

The past year has continued to see significant change in the health and social care landscape in Scotland. In May the Scottish Government published its ‘Route Map to the 2020 Vision for Health and Social Care’, setting out 12 priorities to quicken the pace of change and transformation. I was delighted to see the DNA of the ALLIANCE and our members strongly and explicitly woven throughout the Route Map. The Route Map echoes our language of ‘shifting the balance of power’ and of ‘people powered health and care’ and retains a clear commitment to self management and wider asset based approaches. It picks up also on the need to improve support for people living with multiple conditions, something long highlighted by the ALLIANCE and our members.

Much of the focus of 2013 has been on integration of health and social care and the passage through Parliament of the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Bill. The ALLIANCE has worked hard to make sure our members, including people who access services and third sector organisations, have been centrally involved in shaping the legislation and surrounding policy. This work continues into 2014 as attention shifts to guidance and, most importantly, the work of the 32 Health and Social Care Partnerships that are already forming across Scotland.

The new Health and Social Care Academy, driven by the ALLIANCE, will have an important role in supporting partnerships to grasp integration as an opportunity for real transformation that makes a difference to people across Scottish communities.

Another key, and continuing, theme has been human rights and this increasingly provides the underpinning for all that we do.

We look towards another exciting year ahead, continuing to build on the strong, shared platform we have developed together over the past few years and striving to ensure this sits at the heart of health and social care in Scotland. As ever our strength is in our membership, in working together and in ensuring that the voice, experience and expertise of people who are disabled or living with long term conditions and unpaid carers is our driving force.
