Scottish Ambulance Service Mental Health Strategy Survey

Posted on November 7, 2019

The Scottish Ambulance Service is currently developing a 10 year Mental Health Strategy, and would like to hear what is important to people in Scotland regarding its contents.

To do this, they have launched an online survey to inform their new strategy, and are working in partnership with See Me to find out what people would like to see included. The strategy will describe the service’s specific actions and objectives, around mental health.

As the Scottish Ambulance Service can be used by anyone, they are keen to hear from as many people as possible.

The deadline for responses is Wednesday 13^th November.
