ALISS - A Local Information System for Scotland

ALISS (A Local Information System for Scotland) is a digital system that helps communities work together to find and share information about local groups, organisations, activities and services that can support health and wellbeing.

Information added to ALISS is made available through the www.aliss.org website as well as a range of other websites, systems, and apps so it can be accessed by people searching directly for themselves, as well as by professionals involved in social prescribing and signposting roles, through a range of channels where different people may choose to look for it.

Adding your own group or organisation to ALISS helps people who are looking for support or to get involved in community activities, to find them more easily. You can also then ‘claim’ your organisation on ALISS to take editorial responsibility for managing your information to make sure it stays accurate and up to date.

ALISS is funded by the Scottish Government and managed by the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE) so is completely free to use for anyone wishing to add or search for information.

Managing wellbeing can take many different forms and ALISS therefore includes a wide range of resources that can help people to live well, including those that:

• Enables social connection

• Assists people to self-manage their long term conditions

• Supports outdoor or physical activity

• Links to a range of practical support and

• Accesses digital technology or digital health and social care services. 

To book a place at an in person event please email lynn.mcneil@highland.gov.uk stating the date that you wish to attend and how many people will be attending.
