Fife Health and Social Care Partnership and partners are planning to hold a Fife-wide event to celebrate achievements, consider what the new strategy means for Fife and identify priorities for taking forward the strategy and action plan. This event will take place in the morning of 28 February 2023. The team is still awaiting further detail which will support the implementation of the strategy, such as an Outcome Framework, which will help inform the discussions at the event. Please hold this date in your diary, and further information will be circulated in due course.
