The Perth and Kinross Health and Social Care Partnership is a collaboration between Perth and Kinross Council, NHS Tayside, and a broad network of Third Sector, Independent Sector, and community partners.
By working together, we deliver joined‑up health and social care services that support adults across Perth and Kinross to live well, independently, and safely at home for as long as possible.
Every day, our teams work with people who are ill, vulnerable, or living with disabilities, helping them access the right support at the right time. Our approach is centred on prevention, early intervention, and providing care in ways that are simple, coordinated, and person‑centred.
Our mission
To provide high‑quality, compassionate, and integrated health and social care that enables people to live their lives confidently, safely, and independently, supported by the services and communities around them.
Our vision
We want every person in Perth and Kinross to live:
- in the place they call home,
- surrounded by the people and things they love,
- in good health, for as long as possible,
- with the support they need, when they need it.
We believe in strong, resilient communities where people look after one another, feel connected, and can participate in the activities that matter most to them.
Our values
Our work is guided by three core values:
Ambition: We strive to innovate and improve, finding new ways to meet rising demand and deliver high‑quality care in a changing environment.
Compassion: We treat every individual with dignity, respect, and understanding, recognising that everyone's situation is unique.
Integrity: We are transparent, accountable, and responsible in every decision we make, ensuring that public resources are used wisely and ethically.
Our history
The HSCP was created in response to the Scottish Government's commitment to delivering more integrated health and social care. Since its formation, the Partnership has grown to include a wide range of organisations working together to improve outcomes for adults across the region.
This integrated model helps us:
- prevent unnecessary hospital admissions
- support smoother transitions between services
- reduce delays in care
- provide community‑based support that keeps people connected to their lives
Over time, our collaborative approach has strengthened relationships with local communities, practitioners, carers, and organisations, ensuring services are designed and delivered with the people who use them.
