***This event is aimed specifically at Community Link Workers who are working directly within a Primary Care setting in Scotland. Managers/Programme Leads for these Community Link Workers are also welcome to attend.***
This event will take place online on Zoom.
As part of Audit Scotland’s ongoing performance audit of mental health services for adults in Scotland, Community Link Workers are invited to participate in one of two online focus groups facilitated jointly by Audit Scotland and Voluntary Health Scotland. The groups have very limited spaces.
Audit Scotland are committed to an audit of Mental Health Services, which will look across the wide range of services that aim to support and improve the mental health and wellbeing of adults in Scotland. The overall aim of this performance audit is to answer the question:
How effectively are adult mental health services across Scotland being delivered?
The focus groups will seek the views of Community Link Workers in relation to:
- What progress has been made in improving adult mental health services across Scotland since the publication of the mental health strategy 20172027? This will include topics such as whether adults have access to timely and appropriate support that improves outcomes, how well partners work together to deliver services, and work to tackle mental health inequalities.
- How well managed are the resources for Scotland’s adult mental health services? This will include workforce pressures and how these are being addressed, and how public money is used to support adults’ mental health and wellbeing.
- How achievable are plans to address the ongoing and upcoming challenges facing the delivery of adult mental health services?
The voices of Community Link Workers will provide invaluable insight to this research as you have first-hand knowledge and experience of the issues people face when accessing mental health services, and of the services being delivered.
We will be joined by:
Eva Thomas-Tudo, Audit Manager , Audit Scotland
Veronica Cameron, Senior Auditor, Audit Scotland
