Working with HSCPs, community and third sector organisations, national organisations and Scottish government to create an evidence base for conditions required to implement new models of health and social care across Scotland 

As outlined in the Christie report, and emphasised by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a recognition ‘that more of the same just won’t do’ and there is a need to develop new models and approaches to care. These should centre on empowering individuals to have control of their health and care needs. 

This is outlined in many aspects of Scottish health and social care policy e.g. SDS and realistic medicine and sits alongside empowerment of citizens and communities. 

Our work falls into two main areas - with some overlap between both:  

1. Commissioning Differently
2. Human Learning Systems in Scotland
