Independent Review of Audiology Services in Scotland

Review report and recommendations from the Independent Review of Audiology Services in NHS Scotland. The Review was announced by the Scottish Government in January 2022 in the context of failings in the standards of care provided in the NHS Lothian Paediatrics Services.


People at the centre

Central to the Review was understanding the lived experience of patients, parents and carers, and the experience of other stakeholders using audiology services. The Reference Group, chaired by Angela Bonomy, Chief Executive Officer, Sense Scotland, was established to ensure that this experience was captured and fully represented at every stage. The membership of the Reference Group and its terms of reference can be found on the Review website (1).

The role of the Reference Group was to:

  • provide advice and guidance to the Review Group on consultation methods;
  • support, encourage and facilitate the participation of stakeholders in engaging with the Review;
  • ensure the views of those who use audiology services are understood and taken into account by the Review Group;
  • assist in the dissemination of information and communications to support the review processes.
