Residents are being encouraged to have their say on health services in the upcoming NHS Forth Valley annual review.

The event, taking place on November 26 from 1.30pm to 2.30pm, will be held at the health board's headquarters at Carseview House, Castle Business Park, Stirling.

Attendees are welcome to arrive from 1pm for refreshments and the opportunity to meet board members and senior leaders before the public session begins.

Neena Mahal, chair of NHS Forth Valley, said: “Our Annual Review meeting provides an important opportunity to showcase some of the progress we have made over the last year, while also being open about the challenges we face and the areas which require improvement.

“It also gives people local people across Forth Valley an opportunity to hear directly about the wide range of work underway and to ask questions about the issues that matter most to them.

“I would encourage anyone with an interest in local health services to attend, either in person or online, and submit any questions they may have in advance.”

The meeting will be led by Ms Mahal and will include a presentation from chief executive Ross McGuffie, who will outline key service developments, achievements, challenges, and future priorities.

A question-and-answer session will follow.

Members of the public can submit questions in advance through the online registration form or by calling 01786 457397 during office hours, up until 5pm on November 18.

While questions about individual patient cases cannot be addressed for confidentiality reasons, a selection of submitted questions will be answered during the meeting.

Questions will also be taken from those attending in person, though online observers will not be able to participate in the Q&A.

Anyone wishing to attend the event is asked to register in advance via the NHS Forth Valley website at www.nhsforthvalley.com/event/annual-review-2026 or by calling 01786 457397.
