A draft of our new Population Health and Care Strategy 2025 – 2035 which has been developed in response to extensive feedback from local people, staff, patients, community and partner organisations across Forth Valley over the last 18 months.

The draft Strategy sets out the following five key ambitions:

• To enable the population of Forth Valley to live longer healthier happier lives, by investing in prevention and providing support to people who are ill at an earlier stage.
• To provide more health services and support in local communities, to make it easier for people to access the care you may require.
• To look at how we can improve everyone’s health and wellbeing, not just the patients we are currently seeing.
• To work with partner organisations to tackle some of the wider issues which affect health and wellbeing.
• To make the best use of the resources we have available to ensure we deliver the best value.

Further engagement took place during May and June 2025 to help inform the final version. If you would like to find out more or get an update on development of the Strategy please contact NHS Forth Valley’s Planning Team on fv.fvplanningteam@nhs.scot.
