Adult Social Care and Health services in Aberdeenshire are coordinated and delivered by the Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership (AHSCP), a partnership of Aberdeenshire Council and NHS Grampian. The AHSCP provides a range of care and support services in the community for people with different care needs, mainstream services, which are available to all, and specialist services designed for more complex needs. AHSCP services take a coordinated approach to the way care, support and lifestyle advice designed to keep you healthier and independent for longer is delivered. AHSCP has identified the following health improvement priorities to ensure our communities are healthy places to live, those living in our communities are able to stay resilient and are well connected to a wide range of services, support and activities in their communities:
• Improving mental health and wellbeing.
• Healthy eating, being active and healthy weight.
• Minimising the impact of poverty and inequalities.
• Building resilience and community capacity for health improvement. These priorities will be progressed in collaboration with our communities and partners across health and social care, local government and the third sector. The Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership Public Health Team has a key role in supporting the delivery of these priorities partners to deliver this plan through:
• Gathering and interpreting evidence and health information and data.
• Development of policies and strategies.
• Development of delivery plans and health improvement programmes.
• Assessing the impact of plans and programmes.
• Shifting service provision towards prevention and early intervention.
