We know that finding health and social care information can sometimes feel overwhelming - especially when you're not sure where to start. That's why we've created a new Perth and Kinross Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) website to make it easier to find the information, services, and support you need.
This short guide explains how the site is structured and where to go depending on what you're looking for.
Start at the homepage
The home page is your starting point. From here, you'll find clear links to all the main sections of the site, helping you get to the right place quickly.
Our partnership
For if you want to understand who we are and how we work.
Here you'll find:
- our vision, values and priorities
- how Perth and Kinross Council, NHS Tayside and partners work together
- leadership and governance information
The our partnership section is helpful if you want to learn more about how services are planned and delivered locally.
Services we offer
If you're asking "What support is available?", this is a good place to start.
Our services we offer section gives an overview of health, social care and community services, with links to more detailed pages. It's designed to help you understand what kinds of support exist and how they might help you or someone you care for.
Accessing care
Not sure how to get help or whether you're eligible? Our accessing care section explains:
- who can receive support
- how to apply for services
- referrals and assessments
- contact details and FAQs
If you're unsure where to begin, this is often the most useful section.
Support for adults and older people
As we age, our needs and priorities can change - and support is available. Our support for adults and older people section brings together information on:
- support for adults and older people
- staying independent and well at home
- community connections and activities
- care at home, housing and residential care options
It's designed to guide people and families through the different types of support available at different stages of life.
Support for unpaid carers
Caring for a friend or family member can be incredibly important - and challenging. In support for unpaid carers, you'll find:
- emotional and practical support
- training and advice
- information on financial support
- local carer networks and services
You don't have to manage caring alone, and this section helps you find the right support.
Mental health and wellbeing
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Our mental health and wellbeing section includes:
- mental health services

- crisis support information

If you or someone you care for needs support with mental wellbeing, this is a good place to look.

It focuses on practical support that helps people stay in their own homes for as long as possible.
