PROs / CONs
1 Group in Formartine / Shared working already goes on in health centre / Geographically divided
Area Identity / Turriff and Ellon work separately for home care
Easier to ensure equity of service / Needs to be a separate planning meeting to re-design and time out to think
One meeting better for e.g. Housing rep, Community planning / Wouldn’t be “local” not drill down to needs of local community-too high level
Equality and shared understanding (avoid “the postcode lottery”) / Diversity in patient demographics
Service user buy in
Shared resource and flexibility that offers
Option 1- A. Turriff and Oldmeldrum B. Ellon
Option 2- 1Formartine group with sub teams reflecting smaller localities / Recognises differences in 2 sub areas / Duplication of attendance and cost
1 meeting too big
Does Oldmeldrum fit with Turriff?
Meet less often but pull sub groups together / Danger if communication across is not good
Must add value and be seen to produce outputs/outcomes
Matches Housing and Community planning structures
Person based
Questions.
  1. If you cover more than 1 area is there a way to avoid duplication-attend 1 but this links to others?
  2. How do teams move to a strategic and operational role? – 3rd Sector and patient involvement in this?
  3. How do we allow for review and reflection over time?
