Help shape the future of health and care in Scotland

Help shape the future of health and care in Scotland

The Scottish Government has launched a public consultation on forming a new organisation to support health and wider public sector transformation across the country.

In line with the Scottish Government’s Service Renewal Framework, NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) will come together as a new body, currently called NHS Delivery.

The changes should support:

• faster digital transformation – with national platforms, data sharing, digital inclusion and innovation supporting prevention, self-management, and better outcomes
• integrated workforce development and digital skills – ensuring staff are equipped for new models of care
• embedding prevention and equity – aligning resources, innovation, and accountability to the outcomes Scotland needs
• clear leadership and accountability – making it easier to deliver public sector reform ambitions at scale and pace

Have your say

Open until 30 November 2025, this is your chance to share your views on how NHS Delivery should be set up. And how it can support long-term improvements across NHS Scotland.

The consultation focuses on:

• plans to establish NHS Delivery from April 2026
• early ideas on how the organisation could grow to support wider transformation

Why your views matter

Your input is vital in ensuring NHS services continue to meet the changing needs of people and communities across Scotland.

How to take part

Details on how to respond and the consultation timeline are available on the Scottish Government’s website.

We encourage everyone to take part and to share this opportunity with colleagues, friends, and networks.
