The NHSScotland Event is an opportunity for anyone working in and with the NHS in Scotland to come together to consider the challenges faced, to share best practice and the most innovative approaches to delivering the highest quality of care. It’s also a chance to learn about tools and techniques that can support you in your role.

This year's theme is "Working Together, Improving Outcomes" and Healthcare Improvement Scotland is in attendance to showcase how we support you in this endeavour.

The ihub team is playing an active part and below is more information about our various sessions.
