Delivering Quality Through Leadership: NHSScotland Leadership Development Strategy

Strategy to developing NHSScotland Leadership and so deliver quality.


Appendix 1: Participants in the 2008-2009 Review of 'Delivery through Leadership: NHSScotland Leadership Development Framework and Plan' (2005).

The success of the Leadership Development Framework is dependent on effective partnership working between the SGHD Leadership Team, the NHS Boards including the OD network, as well as with a range of external partners. Given their critical importance, it was important to gather and consider the views of a wide range of these stakeholders as part of the review. The stakeholders include a number of groups as well as key individuals. In outline, the exercise included formal and informal discussions with stakeholders in the following groupings (with more detail provided in the table below):

  • Internal stakeholders within Scottish Government.
  • Groups within NHSScotland.
  • External partners.
  • A sample of individual stakeholders from across NHSScotland.
