Transport planner JMP is working with Tactran, the regional transport partnership covering Perth & Kinross, Stirling, Angus and Dundee City, to develop a Health & Transport Action Plan to improve the integration between transport and healthcare in the region.
The work follows a similar commission with Nestrans, the transport partnership for the North East of Scotland, and NHS Grampian, which is now delivering significant improvements in cross sector working in that region.
JMP will be working with Tactran and the main service delivery partners from healthcare and transport sectors, including NHS Boards, Community Health Partnerships, the Scottish Ambulance Service and local authorities.
This will help to identify opportunities and specific proposals for more integrated and efficient service provision, in line with Regional Transport Strategy objectives of promoting active travel, reducing the adverse impacts of transport on public health and improving access to healthcare.
