National Care Service forums
National forum 2023
We held our second annual National Forum on Monday 30 October, 2023 at the Glasgow Science Centre.
The aim of the annual forum was to provide an opportunity for people to come together and talk about the future of community health and social care in Scotland.
We also wanted to update people on the progress of the NCS.

We have published reports which summarise what we heard from people and what we will do next.
