The Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) Act came into force on 1st April 2024, setting out requirements for safe staffing across all health and care services in Scotland. The legislation places a duty on NHS boards and care services to ensure appropriate staffing levels are in place across the sectors. It also exists to ensure that health and care staff are appropriately trained for the work they perform.
In this episode, we find out more about the new act, how NHS boards have been preparing for it and what it means for patients and healthcare professionals working on the ground. We speak to Caroline Craig from our own Healthcare Staffing Programme, as well as Dr. Susan Ross, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist at NHS Lanarkshire, Natalie Buchanan, an Advanced Speech and Language Therapist at NHS Fife and Kate Patience-Quate who is NHS Highland’s Deputy Nurse Director.
