Voices Scotland Training
Voices Scotland is a free and flexible workshop that supports individuals and groups to explore health and social care issues that are important to them.
Originally developed by Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS), the training can be delivered online by our team and can be tailored to suit the needs of your group.
Attendees can expect to learn more about:
- how the NHS is structured
- working with professionals to drive change
- benefits and barriers to public involvement in the health and social care
- using your personal experiences to shape improvement
- communicating effectively to influence change
- support and resources available to communities
- making a positive case for change
Find out more about the different sections of Voices Scotland training below.
The sessions can be delivered locally to you or online as a single workshop or a series of sessions. We can adapt the content to fit with the needs of your group. For example, we have tailored the training for secondary school pupils. Our making a case for change template has been used to create an organisation's operational plan.
If you would like us to deliver a Voices Scotland Workshop for your organisation or group, or you would like further information about the workshop, then please .
