The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) is a not-for-profit global organisation committed to the development, promotion and support of evidence-based health care, or ‘Best Practice’.
The Practice Development Unit of NHS Quality Improvement Scotland is leading a 3-year programme focusing on a Scottish Centre model in order to forge stronger links between JBI and NHS Scotland in a coordinated and cohesive manner, which allows all-Scotland membership. The 3-year programme incorporates a scoping process to identify priorities, pilot work to determine most appropriate ‘products’ and processes to support NHS Scotland and an evaluation strategy to consider the impact of the implementation.

Equality and Diversity
NHS Quality Improvement Scotland is committed to equality and diversity. We have assessed the membership of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) across NHSScotland for likely impact on the six equality groups defined by age, disability, gender, race, religion/belief and sexual orientation. The implementation of the JBI tools and resources should be subject to local EQIA process.
