3. The Scope of the EQIA

The Programme provides guidance, co-ordination and support to Health Boards and those employed by the Scottish health service. Therefore the EQIA assessed the accessibility of the Programme to NHS Scotland staff with protected characteristics.

The Programme does not fund or deploy NHS staff to deliver projects overseas therefore although the EQIA recognises that participation in global health work often involves overseas travel which can pose a barrier to participation, the options for addressing this are limited to activities that are within the scope of the Programme.
