The Scottish Government

In conjunction with the Scottish Forum for Healthcare Science, we (Scottish Executive Health Department) are holding 6 'roadshows' across Scotland to engage with frontline healthcare scientists. We want to give you the opportunity to discuss some of the key issues affecting the healthcare science profession as a whole and the services which you deliver in contributing to the health and wellbeing of the people of Scotland. For example;. technological developments; the shift to community-base care; the demands of education and training; immediate demographic pressures, regulation and role development.

This is an opportunity for you to engage with us and set the scene for developing a National Action Plan to take forward the healthcare science profession within NHS Scotland.

A programme, briefing and summary of aims/objectives for the day will be made available in due course.

The roadshows are designed to be as informal as possible and we will be using the 'World Café' approach, (cabaret style). Please complete the form attached and return by e-mail/post or fax to;
