Health & Social Care North Lanarkshire has launched its new website, which will make it even easier for people across North Lanarkshire to access information about services, supports available, and local health and care jobs.
Designed with the user in mind, the website has a clean and modern layout making it easy to find the information people need. People will be able to access information about services in their area, including recruitment opportunities, community health services, and support for carers.
It also carries key documents including locality plans and the Strategic Commissioning Plan which sets out the partnership’s priorities for the next three years. In addition, the website provides up-to-date information about Integration Joint Board meetings, which are responsible for the planning of local health and social care services.
It will also be a valuable resource for those looking for health and care jobs in North Lanarkshire, with information about current vacancies and details on how to apply.
Links to partner organisations including Voluntary Action North Lanarkshire, NHS Lanarkshire, North Lanarkshire Council and the Care Academy are in place to ensure the partnership links people in with the services they need at a click of a button.
Chief officer Ross McGuffie said: “One of our main responsibilities as a partnership is to transform health and social care services to ensure everyone using our services gets the right care and support to meet their needs.
“Everyone should have access to the information they need to make informed decisions about their health and social care, and this website will help us to achieve that goal. It has been created with the intention of improving access to health and social care services, as well as providing information and resources for people living in the area.
“To do this successfully, it’s vital we engage effectively with the people who use our services or have an interest in them. We can only truly do this if we have effective communication. This website is one of the ways we will keep the people of North Lanarkshire up to date on what’s happening across the partnership and how they can get involved.
“The site will be continually developed to reflect the work of the partnership as it progresses with the new Strategic Commissioning Plan.
“Ultimately, our hope is that the website will make it easier for residents to find the information they need and connect with the resources that can help them lead healthy, fulfilling lives.”
