Our Vision

People, regardless of age, diagnosis, characteristics or circumstance should experience safe, effective, person-centred care from health and social care staff who understand that they can continue to make a significant difference to a person’s wellbeing even in the last months, weeks, days and hours of that person’s life.

Our vision is that Scotland will be a place where:

• People’s wellbeing is supported even as their health declines;
• People die well;
• People are supported throughout bereavement;
• Communities and individuals are able to help each other through the hard times which can come with declining health, death, dying, and bereavement.

This vision can only be achieved through co-production by formal services, individuals and communities.
