Community Health Partnership
The Clackmannanshire Community Health Partnership (CHP) became part of the Alliance at the inception of community planning in Clackmannanshire. It is a legally constituted entity set up by the NHS Board in 2005 to involve the public, voluntary organisations, local authorities and health services in securing a healthier future for local communities.
Community Health in Clackmannanshire is addressed by various structures, all of which feed into the community planning process.
The Community Health Partnership and its structures include health care specialists in the statutory and voluntary sectors, Clackmannanshire Council and CVS Clackmannanshire.
For details of the CHP committee and its meetings you can view the NHS CHP web page.
Key Priorities
The Clackmannanshire CHP Committee has agreed to work on four key priorities during 2009:
- Improving the health of local communities in Clackmannanshire
- Extending joint working
- Delivering more and better services locally in Clackmannanshire
- Demonstrating that the CHP is making a difference
Public Partnership Forum
Members of the public engage with the Community Health Partnership through the Public Partnership Forum.
The aims of the PPF are to
- ensure that people are informed about the range and location of health related issues;
- involve the local community in discussions about how to improve health services;
- support wider public involvement in planning and decision making;
- help the CHP break down the barriers that prevent equal access to services.
For further information how you can attend, you can visit the NHS Public Partnership Forum's web page.
Governing body
