Welcome

PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP FORUM (PPF)

The Scottish Executive set out specific requirements for NHS Boards to build on existing good practice in public involvement. As such every CHP in Scotland is required to establish a Public Partnership Forum.

The Argyll & Bute PPF is made up of patients, focus groups, community groups, voluntary organisations and individual members of the public. We have also been developing locality PPFs across the CHP.

The PPF is open to anyone within the community regardless of age, gender, ability, faith, ethnicity or sexual orientation. You can join the PPF at whatever level you choose, you may wish to be kept involved, you may wish to have your say or you may wish to be more actively involved through joining meetings or committees with health service staff. The PPF meets on a regular basis and papers from the meetings are publicly available on this website.

If you would like to find out more about the PPF, how to join or be informed of groups in your area or other ways to get involved, contact Caroline Champion, Planning & Public Involvement Manager on 01546 605680 or email Caroline.Champion@nhs.net. A copy of the relevant documents for joining the PPF are also available below.
