We help NHSScotland improve the quality of patient care. Our work supports the Quality Strategy and covers all 3 elements of the cycle of improvement.
We are an organisation that delivers internationally recognised excellence. We work to improve the quality of care received by every patient in Scotland every time they access healthcare.
Integrating quality improvement in healthcare
We have a lead role in supporting NHS boards and their staff in achieving their goals by:
• providing advice and guidance on effective clinical practice, including setting standards
• driving and supporting implementation and improvements in quality, and
• assessing the performance of the NHS, reporting and publishing our findings.
