Our work on support and development for the forthcoming year (2005) will focus on the following areas:
1. Training and Education
One of the responsibilities of NHS Quality Improvement Scotland is to provide central support to aid local implementation of clinical governance. A key feature of such support is training and education to help to provide those delivering clinical effectiveness with the skills and knowledge to carry out their work.
In August 2005 the Clinical Governance and Patient Safety Support Unit allocated a major part of its budget ( 121k) to NHS Boards to fund training and education of clinical governance staff. NHS Boards were asked to provide a brief account of how this allocation was used and a summary of the responses is provided in this report. This information will be used to continue to support the work undertaken by NHS QIS in relation to providing support for training and education of clinical governance staff at a national level.
