Reshaping Care for Older People
The Reshaping Care for Older People programme is being led by the Ministerial Strategic Group for Health and Community Care (Chaired by Minister for Public Health and Sport with NHS Chairs/COSLA spokespersons). The programme is required as current services are not sustainable in the face of demographic change and financial pressures. In addition, some services are changing and developing at different rates towards achieving our vision:
"Older people in Scotland are valued as an asset, their voices are heard and they are supported to enjoy full and positive lives in their own home or in a homely setting".
The Reshaping Care for Older People programme provides a long term and strategic approach to delivering that change so that we can achieve our vision for future care for older people in Scotland. This change needs to be built on a strong and enduring consensus across all sectors and interests.
Within the Programme there are three core themes: Care Settings,
Complex Care, Community Capacity, with two supporting themes:
Workforce and Finance and Analysis. More information regarding
these workstreams can be found at:
NES/SSSC Strategic Joint Group will take overall responsibility for
the workforce agenda within the Reshaping Care Programme and has
established a Workforce Operational Group. The operational
