Standards
Summary
We are developing standards that will provide assurance that organisations are providing high quality and safe healthcare in line with best practice, national policy and legislation. Standards can support internal and external quality assurance.
Clinical is defined as any healthcare intervention or service requiring assessment, planning, provision, evaluation or oversight by a registered healthcare professional.
The standards will apply to all clinical services planned, commissioned or delivered within the health and social care system in Scotland.
