News: Review of Out of Hours Services in Moray – June dates for discussion groups

Consultants Craigforth have been engaged to run a series of discussion groups looking at Out of Hours services in Moray.  The groups are being publicised through GP surgeries.

What are the groups about?

Out of Hours services are provided when GP services are normally closed. They include services such as GMED, A&E, NHS24, district/community nurses, and pharmacies.

Services face significant challenges such as increasing demand, staff retention, and reducing budgets. Your feedback will help us to plan how best to respond to the challenges we face.

What’s involved?

The groups involve an informal round-table discussion. We will provide some background information on Out of Hours services, but you don’t need any specific knowledge to take part.

Dates and locations for as follows:

Date Town Time Venue Target group
Thursday 1 June Buckie 1.45pm to 3.15pm Riverside Church Hall, Church Street, Buckie Local residents
