NHS Ayrshire and Arran, is the overall name given to all of the different
health services which are in your area. Obviously there needs to be a
structure or shape that those services take so that health care can be
organised properly. As of April 1st 2004, the Scottish Executive (the
government) who are the folk who give the NHS the resources they need
to
provide you with health services, have decided that the shape that services
will take will change. The exact way that will look will be put on this
site
very soon and any questions or opinion you have about it would be welcomed.
Health Promotion?
This is something that is carried out by all parts of NHS Ayrshire & Arran
and also by other agencies represented in the CHYPS site. It’s
mainly focused on preventing people from being unwell in the first place
and could range from ensuring that you have access to a choice of healthy
food within your school, to ensuring you have the right information about
stuff which might effect your health and well-being. The main way in
which NHS Ayrshire and Arran promote health is by working closely with
other agencies, like the ones who got together with you to make this
site. We aim to inform people about whether the choices they make which
affect their health are potentially good or bad, so that they can make
the right choices for them, for now and the future.
Things that young people do and the challenges they face when they are
young can often affect their lives later. If you’d like to learn
more about any aspects of your health and well-being you can learn about
them by clicking on the link below which takes you to a Health Information
Shop. You can visit the shop just over the web or actually come and look
around at Boswell House, Arthur Street, Ayr. There are staff here who
are able to help you to find the information you need.
