Question

To ask the Scottish Government how it will mark Healthcare Science Week in Scotland, which runs from 11 to 15 March 2024. 


Answer

The Scottish Government recognises the important role of healthcare scientists in the delivery of effective and high quality services across the NHS in Scotland.

On 14 March 2024 the Scottish Government will publish a paper which defines the strategic approach that we will take to develop healthcare science in Scotland – helping to improve the visibility and understanding of the profession and the positive impact it has on patient outcomes.

The launch of this paper will coincide with an online event, hosted by the Chief Scientific Officer for Scotland, which will recognise the valuable contribution of the healthcare science workforce as a whole, and acknowledge outstanding individuals and teams who have gone above and beyond to improve patient care.
