SUMMARY:CPG on Health Inequalities: January 2021 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Health Inequalities CPG January meeting on Tuesday 26th January at 6pm online via Zoom. The meeting will be chaired by Group Co-Convenor Donald Cameron MSP. \nTopic:  Deep social exclusion: dying whilst homeless in Scotland \nHomelessness is often an indication of severe and multiple disadvantage and complex needs. Scotland has double the number of homelessness deaths to the rest of the UK.  Why do homeless people have significantly worse symptoms than other groups at the end of life\, but often die without accessing end of life care? Why are homeless people so concerned about dying alone\, anonymously\, on the streets and being forgotten and what do they want to see happen instead? \nThis is a timely discussion for the CPG to hold and we welcome two presenters with specialist knowledge and experience of working in this area. \n\nDr Andrea Williamson\, a founder Deep End GP and clinician at Glasgow’s Hunter Street Homeless Service\, will speak about Covid-19\, homelessness and implications for end of life care.\nDr Joy Rafferty\, a speciality doctor at Strathcarron Hospice and Master of Public Health\, will speak about homelessness and palliative care.\n\nFollowed by discussion and questions \nBook your place here. \nIf you have any questions about the CPG\, please contact Lauren Blair- lauren.blair@vhscotland.org.uk

SUMMARY:Falling Off a Cliff at 65: serious mental health issues in later life\, Feb 2021
DESCRIPTION:VHS and The Open University are hosting two\, invitation only\, round table meetings to continue the discussions on serious mental health issues later in life. \nThe issue we are seeking to address is the situation some people with serious mental health conditions (other than or alongside dementia) find themselves in once they become 65. Issues we have been exploring include under-diagnosis\, under-provision\, poor transitions from ‘adult’ services to ‘older people’ services\, discrimination and flouting of human rights. For some people with serious mental health issues\, their 65th birthday is like ‘falling off a cliff’ in terms of service provision; for example\, their CPN may be removed. A key issue to address is the transition point from adult to older people services\, this is where things unravel for some people. \nBy March last year we had gathered a level of evidence\, through round tables held in 2019 and through two surveys conducted by NHS Health Scotland and Dr Adam Daly respectively. The work then paused\, unfortunately but of necessity\, due to Covid-19. \nFirstly\, we will look to explore what has changed during the year of covid-19 for older people with serious mental health conditions\, and secondly to start to co-produce recommendations for changes in mental health and older people’s policy leading to improvements in services. With the involvement of the Open University we anticipate that further research areas may be developed. \nThe discussion paper and evidence from the previous phase of the work can be read here. \nIf you have any questions or would like to register interest in the meetings\, please contact Lauren Blair.

SUMMARY:Exploring enablers and barriers to uptake of the COVID-19 Vaccine
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join Voluntary Health Scotland at this event exploring the likely impact of the Covid-19 vaccine programme on health inequalities. \n*****Book your place here***** \nDuring February VHS is carrying out important research across the third sector to help ensure that the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine in Scotland doesn’t widen the health inequalities gap by missing vulnerable groups. We are keen to ensure that the opportunity to get vaccinated is made as easy as possible for everyone in Scotland\, including those who are furthest away from public services and who already face a wide range of inequalities. We will be feeding back our short survey results to the Public Health Scotland Evaluation of the Flu Vaccination COVID Vaccination (FVCV) programme and to the Scottish Government teams co-ordinating the COVID-19 Vaccination programme.  \nIf you are a third sector organisation working actively to support people’s health and wellbeing\, you can help by attending this event to share your experience and local intelligence. We also welcome attendees working for the NHS\, health and social care partnerships and other public sector services.  \nSpeakers: Kiren Zubairi\, Policy Engagement Officer\, Voluntary Health Scotland\, will present the research findings. Other speakers to be announced.  \n*********Book your place here**********.  \nPlease contact Lauren Blair if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:COVID-19: Impact on communities and priorities on recovery
DESCRIPTION:This informal event is a further opportunity to engage with researchers from the Scottish Government Covid-19 Modelling and Analysis Hub. Previous sessions with the same team’s input have been very informative and have been highly rated. This latest session will provide an opportunity to consider the implications of their latest research for people’s future health and wellbeing\, and for social renewal and the reshaping of services in our communities. It will provide a platform for participants to share their perspectives on the current landscape and put forward their own views on recovery and social renewal. \nWhy attend?\nA year on from the outbreak of Covid-19 in the UK and the landscape is now a complex one. The efforts of UK and Scottish governments\, the NHS and Public Health Scotland to bring the virus under control continue\, with Test and Protect\, mass vaccination\, continued lockdowns and relentless public health messaging key planks of their strategy. In parallel to this\, the agenda for social and economic renewal is becoming ever more pressing. Third sector organisations are very often at the frontline in seeing and dealing with the impact across Scotland’s communities of repeated lockdowns\, social distancing\, furloughing\, job losses\, home schooling and shielding. Impacts that have tested people’s mental and physical health and wellbeing\, brought social isolation and loneliness\, and tested people’s resilience.  \nThis event is designed for people working (or volunteering) in the voluntary and community health sectors\, and will be of interest to others involved in the wider third sector\, including housing associations and social enterprises\, as well as the NHS\, health and social care partnerships\, further and higher education institutions. \nChaired by Claire Stevens\, Chief Executive of Voluntary Health Scotland. \n Book your place here. \nContact Lauren Blair if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:The Role of Culture in the Health & Wellbeing of Older People “With Age\, Art and Life Become One”
DESCRIPTION:This is a Arts Culture Health & Wellbeing Scotland event. \nBook your place here. \nWith a title inspired by a quotation from Georges Braque\, at this event we will explore the role arts and culture play in the health\, wellbeing and care of older people whether they live independently or in residential/nursing care and for those who are in hospital.  \nOlder people’s lives have been significantly affected by Covid-19\, not least the distressing levels of social isolation and loneliness very many have endured for over 12 months. The removal of much appreciated activities\, human contact and services have taken their toll physically\, mentally and spiritually on our older population. How have arts and culture interventions made a difference during these difficult days\, what challenges have been faced\, and how can the lessons learned help shape the recovery and renewal of services for the future? What can the arts\, culture and care sectors share and learn from one another about compassionate\, person-centred and enabling care? What do we mean by art and life becoming one\, with age? Join the conversation to find out.  \nSpeakers confirmed: \n\nClaire Stevens\, Chief Executive\, Voluntary Health Scotland \nRobbie McGhee\, Chair of Arts\, Culture\, Health and Wellbeing Scotland and Associate Director\, Art in Hospital \nDonald Macaskill\, Chief Executive\, Scottish Care\nAnne Gallacher\, Director\, Luminate \nBarbara McEwan-Gulliver\, Artistic Director\, Art in Hospital\nJoe Traynor\, Head of Museums Development\, Museums Galleries Scotland\nLeesa Mackintosh\, Community Link Worker & Alison Leitch\, Community Link Worker\, Area Lead\, North Edinburgh\n\nBook your place at the event here. \nPlease contact Lauren Blair at VHS with any questions about this event. \nFind out more about Arts Culture Health & Wellbeing Scotland here : www.achws.org \nWhy not follow ACHWS on Facebook and Twitter @achwscotland  \nJoin the Arts Culture Health & Wellbeing Scotland network for free here https://achws.org/join-us

SUMMARY:Digital Health & Care Strategy Refresh
DESCRIPTION:Join us to engage with the proposed refresh of Scotland’s Digital and Health Care Strategy and to hear more about Scottish Government plans in relation to digital and health care.  Originally jointly published by the Scottish Government\, NHS Scotland and COSLA in April 2018\, the strategy is being reviewed in light of the fast-moving environment we are all now working in\, which includes the impact of Covid-19. \nThe principles of the original strategy (empowering citizens to better manage their health and wellbeing\, and the underpinning architectural and information governance building blocks for the effective flow of information\, to enable this) will continue into the refreshed strategy. There will however be greater emphasis on aspects such as digital access\, confidence and trust in use of digital\, citizen engagement\, person-led care\, addressing inequalities\, digital foundations (devices\, architecture\, skills etc.)\, and citizen-held records.  The refreshed strategy will embed the premise that in order to empower and enable citizens to better manage their health and care\, live independently and gain access to services through digital means\, delivery of integrated care is vital.  Data is key to this ambition.  Hence\, this strategy refresh will also provide the framework for the separate Data Strategy for Health & Care\, to be developed later this year. \nBook your place here.\nThis is an opportunity for third sector organisations working in the area of health and social care to engage with the Directorate for Digital Health and Care around these issues. \nChaired by : Claire Stevens\, Chief Executive\, Voluntary Health Scotland  \nSpeaker: Nel Whiting\, Policy Lead for Participation & Engagement\, Directorate for Digital Health & Care\, Scottish Government  \nPlease contact Lauren Blair if you have any questions lauren.blair@vhscotland.org.uk \n

SUMMARY:Engaging with the Scottish Parliament Post Election
DESCRIPTION:Do you work with the Scottish Parliament or would you like to find out more about how best to engage?Join us to explore Engaging with the Scottish Parliament post election.  \nWith the Scottish election results now announced we want to look at engaging with the Scottish Parliament\, its members and processes  all while dealing with COVID-19. How has the pandemic affected the work of the Scottish Parliament\, what is the role of the Committees and MSPs\, what opportunities are there for voluntary health organisations to engage with them during this time? \nAn online round table chaired by Claire Stevens\, Chief Executive\, VHS and with guest speaker Ewan Masson\, Community Outreach Team\, the Scottish Parliament. Ewan will share what’s happening at the Parliament right now – both COVID19 related and non-related – and give an insight into its health related inquiries and calls for views. There will be plenty of opportunity for event participants to share any recent experience of engaging with the Parliament\, Committees and MSPs\, and to discuss how the Parliament might improve its reach and relevance during these challenging and uncertain times. \nThe Community Outreach Team (COT) works with colleagues across the Parliament to enhance opportunities for public engagement in the work of parliamentary committees. By supporting people and communities who wouldn’t otherwise engage with the Parliament\, they channel critical lived experience and insight to help MSPs and committees when they undertake parliamentary inquiries and scrutiny of legislation. To do this they work closely with key partners in communities across Scotland\, including third sector organisations like VHS. \nBook a place here. \nContact Lauren Blair if you have any questions about the event
