The Scottish Health Council will be hosting a public discussion group within NHS Forth Valley to consider the Scottish Government and Healthcare Improvement Scotland work to develop and deliver more comprehensive assessments of the quality of care.

They are hoping to have strong representation from a variety of residents from across the Forth Valley area.

If you would like to be involved in this discussion group, please call 01786 471550 or e mail Kelly.fitzpatrick@scottishhealthcouncil.org

Places are limited and should they receive more interest than they can accommodate, they will allocate places appropriately and let people know.
