Maximising Independence projects – supporting people and communities

As the maximising independence approach continues to become our ‘business as usual’ way of doing things across the HSCP, it’s helping us to achieve a fair and easier way for people to access support and prioritise what’s most important to them. Two particular maximising independence projects are already having an impact.

Maximising Independence Update – Small Steps Make Big Strides

Our HSCP’s Maximising Independence approach with partners aims to deliver the largest change in health and social care in Glasgow in a generation. That’s a huge move. It’s complex and complicated, and it’s especially challenging to tackle such a major change during a global health pandemic. However, as with all long journeys, we’ll reach our destination by taking a series of small steps in the right direction.
