Muirhouse: Let’s Get Critical!

Come along to ‘Let’s Get Critical!’ – a free discussion group in Muirhouse Library on Tuesdays from 1:30pm – 3:30pm!

Have a cup of tea and a blether and ask:

What influences us in the language we use?
What affect does language have on the world?
How often do we stop and think about this?

This thinkSpace is to discuss three inter-related projects that are being developed collectively to improve the quality of life of those who live, work, and visit Scotland’s capital city.

EVOC thinkSpace: ‘All Hands’ – The New Primary Care Improvement Plan, 24th May, 09:30am – 11:30am

In January 2018 a new GP contract was agreed nationally and we are now moving into implementation.

The Scottish Government requires each Integration Joint Board (IJB) to produce a Primary Care Improvement Plan by July 2018 and Edinburgh’s is currently being developed.

This thinkSpace is an opportunity for third sector organisations to hear about the development of the plan, the future of Primary Care in the city and to explore how “All hands” are to be valued in order that we can continue to provide quality and timeous care and support to patients.
