About the Consultation Document
This paper offers a basis for reforming the current practice and culture within which NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) involves patients and the public as partners in its work. It sets out the background to our current position, and offers a critical examination of the effectiveness of the current systems for the recruitment, retention, support and deployment of lay people as partners in our work. The latter section of the paper sets out proposals for reforms which are aimed at refreshing the partnership.
In line with the core principles of NHSScotland s strategy on Patient Focus and Public Involvement (PFPI), the draft proposals are now being made available to all our partners and stakeholders for comment.
