By Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership –
The Kincardine and Mearns Area Committee asked the Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership (AHSCP) to review the operation of the Stonehaven Vaccination Centre within a year of it opening at the Area Committee of 8th February 2022.
The centre has now been open for 6 months and gathering the views of the communities who have been using the Vaccination Centre is a key part of the review. We have developed a short survey to gather the experiences of people who have already used the centre. We have also developed an easy read version to make the survey as accessible as possible.
The survey will be available online and in paper format and will be live for a period of 6 weeks starting from the 31st of March. Paper copies will be made available in key places across Kincardine and Mearns including the Vaccination Centre, GP practices, pharmacies, leisure centres and libraries to allow responses from a wide section of the community. Posters will also be on display along with the paper copies signposting the public to the online engagement page. Once complete the result of the survey will be shared on the engagement page.
We would appreciate your support in sharing this information with the population of Kincardine and Mearns through your various networks.
From Friday 31st March 2023 until Friday 12th May the survey will be available in both formats to access online via the Aberdeenshire Engage Platform using the following link:
