Strategies from NHS Boards


Sharing NHS Volunteer Strategies and Policies

The Scottish Government Refreshed Strategy for Volunteering in the NHS requires all NHS Boards to ensure that a local strategic action plan for volunteering ( from 1 April 2009 onwards) is developed in partnership with local stakeholders during 2008/09. As these plans become available they will, with Board's approval, be posted here to allow Board's the opportunity to share practice.

NHS Board's Volunteer Policies will also be posted on the same basis.
NHS Lothian
NHS Lothian has combined its local strategy, which it developed in consultation with local stakeholders, with Investing in Volunteers.
