Why attend
The NHS Scotland Event is an exceptional showcase for some of the most exciting quality improvement techniques and approaches in modern healthcare.
The NHS Scotland Event 2026 will create a unique opportunity for delegates to:
- Hear from inspiring health and social care experts and leaders on the progress being made in the health and social care landscape
- Learn what mechanisms others use in order to support the sustainable delivery of health and social care through quality improvement which can be adopted locally to improve outcomes;
- Learn about working collaboratively and across boundaries to ensure we achieve the aims of better care and better health
- Take back to the workplace tools and techniques to help improve the delivery of services locally
This year’s NHS Scotland Event will explore the priorities at the heart of the national reform agenda - those essential to delivering lasting improvements for the people of Scotland:
- Prevention: Services that prevent disease, enable early detection and effectively manage chronic and long-term conditions. Prevention is one of the most cost-effective interventions that the NHS can make in improving population health and reducing inequalities.
- Person-Led: Delivering health and social care that is people-led and ‘Value Based’.
- Integration: Strengthening system-wide integration.
- Access: Improving access to services and treatments in the community.
- Hospital Redesign: Redesigning our hospitals as we deliver more care within our communities.
- Digital: Services which are accessible through digital technologies, with people and our workforce able to access the right information.
