Practice Development is the term used to describe a collection of processes which enable individuals, teams and organisations within NHSScotland to improve healthcare by sharing examples of good clinical practice across the organisation as a whole, to the benefit of patients and staff.
A dedicated unit within NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) works to promote a consistent and cohesive approach to healthcare by:
- issuing Best Practice Statements
- organising Practice Development programmes
- supporting networking for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals
- encouraging the sharing of best practice.
This section of the website provides information on the work that NHS QIS is doing to facilitate Practice Development.
