  • The Angus Care Model
    THE ANGUS CARE MODEL Let’s keep the conversation going Thank you for your interest in the development of the Angus Care Model. During week beginning 16 October 2017 people from across Angus attended drop-in information sessions held in Forfar, Carnoustie, Montrose and Arbroath. These events gave locals the chance to talk to health and social care professionals. Our conversations focused on the challenges facing services, the opportunities for change and how we can together build a future Angus Care Model that provides the best possible care to the most people possible. The majority of people (85%) who attended the meetings found them helpful and informative. Whilst a small number of people commented that they would have preferred a formal meeting, people (94%) overwhelmingly felt that they had been given an opportunity to comment and offer their opinion. When arranging future meetings we will take account of people's suggestions and improve the way we raise awareness about the meetings. We were asked to share the information that was on display. In addition to talking to staff and have many of their questions answered, we also invited people to write down questions and leave comments. We have done our best to answer as many of the questions as possible. Please take some time to consider the information contained below and get involved in the conversation by completing a short survey https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/WDFV53D or by contacting us on [email protected] We look forward to continuing our conversation with you in the very near future.

Many fields have presented themselves for independent research, but as the plan of the work and its limits belonged to the author and not to the editor, I did not feel justified in materially altering either of them.

Every location has its p s e own part to play in making Dundee’s m r o r d f special sense of place. e c r u o l s a i r There can be few cities in the world e t a which can boast their own unique form s m n i a t of tree. Dundee is privileged in this n o n c respect to have the Camperdown Elm, o i t a c i now widely grown around the world as l b u a cultivar.
