NHS Education for Scotland (NES) is an education and training body and a national (special) health board within NHS Scotland.
NES is the national NHS health board with a responsibility to develop and deliver education and training for those people who work in NHS Scotland.[1]
To enable it to fulfil its remit of promoting best practice in the education and lifelong learning of all NHS staff, NES has statutory functions.[2]
NES has a Scotland-wide role in undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing professional development and maintains a local perspective through centres in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness.[3] It acknowledges the role of education in empowering society to support positive change and participation in health and care services.[4]
NES also cooperates and collaborates with regulatory bodies and other organisations that are concerned with the development of the health and care workforce.
Across NHS Scotland, much of the learning that staff undertake is completed in the workplace.[5]
It maintains the Knowledge Network, a digital library service that allows NHS staff to search for and share information.[6] The Knowledge Network also contains educational resources and was a further development of the NHS Scotland e-Library. NES is a member of UKSG, an international association that aims to connect the information community and encourage the exchange of ideas on scholarly communication.[7]
