Community Health Partnerships (CHPs) were established in April 2004 to build on the achievements of Local Health Care Co-operatives (LHCCs) and to make a direct and measurable improvement in local population health and to provide higher quality, accessible and joined up services to local communities. CHPs are a key building block in the modernisation of NHS and joint service, with a vital role in partnership integration and service design.  Partnership for Care states that CHPs have a new and more consistent and enhanced role in service planning and delivery working as part of decentralised but integrated health and social care systems.  Read about the Aberdeen City CHP (Community Health Partnership)   Click here to access the CHP Newsletters Minutes and Meetings Schedule of the CHP Committee	What's New?
