The National Health Service in Scotland
The blueprint for Britain's National Health Service was drawn up in Scotland. Early in the 20th century a sense of nationalism had secured a health administration in Scotland, separate from that for the rest of Britain and able to set its own course. By 1913, the Highlands and islands had the first comprehensive state medical service in Britain. In the Depression of the 1930s, there was already a powerful consensus in Scotland, supported by a medical profession with a long established tradition of public service, that free and comprehensive medical services must be extended across the whole country. A plan for Scotland, published in 1936, became the basis of the schemes for the National Health Services established north and south of the border in 1948.
Research and Development Strategy for the National Health Service in Scotland
This strategy is about improving the scope, relevance and quality of R&D to inform policy and practice in health care in Scotland. It gives an overview of the current state of R&D and highlights areas where action needs to be taken to fulfil its potential for health care development. One of the important points it makes is that there is a need for the links between those involved in health care and the research community to be improved, and for the benefits of research to be systematically translated into practice.

Understanding the NHS
The NHS is more than a good idea. It is beautiful. And it is you. The importance of the NHS – and the public’s affection for it – cannot be overstated, as seen through the COVID-19 pandemic. The author and his family of medics have lived and breathed the NHS, from before 1948, its birth and its history to date. But this book is for people who do not come from this medical background and do not have this life experience. Thus there are three target audiences. Firstly, it can contribute to A level study of the NHS, and career advice for 6th form students who are applying to university for a degree in healthcare. Secondly, it will educate health and social care professionals in training and in their early years. So they can start with the knowledge that the author had when he went to university in 1979. Thirdly, the book is for everyone else, who want to know how it all fits together, and in this way, improve their healthcare, and that of their family.
Delivering for health
Our overarching aim is to improve Scotland's health. Policies and actions across the Scottish Executive support that central objective. We are building an integrated approach to health that has the NHS at its core. The approach sets out to tackle determinants of population health, particularly through action to close the 'health gap' that blights the lives of people in our disadvantaged communities. This plan is therefore about more than the future shape of our NHS. It also brings together elements of wider policy the Scottish Executive has been developing for a number of years that impact on Scotland's health. Health care makes an important contribution to health improvement. Our plans for the health service to reach out with earlier intervention (anticipatory care) make this link explicit, emphasising the importance of delivering health care that is fair to all and personal to each. We expect the NHS to provide care that is tailored to the needs of the individual, drawing on the ...
