POLICY: Building a comprehensive approach to reviewing the quality of care

The RCN Scotland response to Healthcare Improvement Scotland’s consultation on a new approach to scrutiny

RCN Scotland previously called for HIS to take a whole system approach to the diverse range of inspections it carries out. In this response we welcomed HIS’s proposals to move towards a more comprehensive scrutiny model and supported the guiding principles and broad domains that underpin HIS’s proposed approach. However we raised concerns about both the scope of this new approach and how it will be implemented.
