Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (GCHSCP) has been adapting the way in which individuals access support that meets their needs whilst promoting and maintaining their independence. We recognise that closer engagement with communities, families, carers and individuals we support is required: focussing on the assets and strengths that individuals and their communities already have; to transform the way we all collaborate, maximising the opportunity for individuals to live independent lives and achieve their full potential. Connecting individuals with their communities is a key objective of maximising independence, and access to health and social care support, when needed, can improve health and wellbeing and support individuals to become more resilient.
