Whilst retaining local services and staff and protecting remote and rural employment, this innovative shared model enhances the provision of services across both board areas and improves the quality, efficiency and sustainability of their Human Resources services. The Boards have provided a genuine shared service that demonstrates effective collaboration.

Capable Workforce - Developing Education Pathways for Estates and Facilities Staff in NHSScotland

NHS Education for Scotland ( NES) piloted the SVQ2 in Facilities Services to test its relevance for NHSScotland staff. Evaluation after the participants completed the qualification showed that they are more likely to deal with matters they would have previously left to a more senior colleague. Staff now have a better understanding of the "bigger picture" and line managers would recommend this qualification to other staff.

Workforce to deliver integrated Services - Playing to Your Strengths: Leadership Development for Health and Social Care Integration

NHS Lothian's Organisational Development ( OD) Team have been working in collaboration with counterparts in their four Councils to deliver a brief leadership development intervention for leaders in health and social care, designed to complement existing programmes in each organisation. More than 100 leaders from across health, social care, GPs and the independent and voluntary sectors have participated so far. Evaluation has shown that this has been a valued and effective intervention. It has also been successful at developing relationships and networks across the HR and OD teams who have come together to deliver this programme.
