SLHSCP in action

Working together to improve health and wellbeing in the community – with the community . . .

We are committed to living that vision.  That means making sure people are independent where possible, and can live the healthiest lives they can. We aim to do this by combining, sharing and co-ordinating health and social care services.  You can see some of those who’ve been helped by this joined-up approach by watching the films below.
