NHS Scotland Global Citizenship Framework: setting the direction for global citizenship in NHS Scotland

Sets out what global citizenship in NHS Scotland looks like, taking into account recent advances in good practice in global health and international development to maximise the mutual benefit of global health participation for patients, health workers and the health service in Scotland and overseas.


Conclusion

The NHS Scotland Global Citizenship Framework sets out the ten Principles which underpin the NHS Scotland Global Citizenship Programme and the direction for global citizenship in NHS Scotland.

These Principles detail “what good looks like” and support NHS staff and Health Boards to ensure the global health work they undertake with partners is ethical, sustainable and effective.

The Framework makes clear NHS Scotland’s ongoing commitment to global citizenship, for the benefit of patients, health workers and the health service both here in Scotland, and beyond.
