SUMMARY:HEALTHCARE SCIENCE IN SCOTLAND: REDEFINING OUR WORKFORCE
DESCRIPTION:This publication sets out how we will now define our healthcare science (HCS) workforce in\nScotland\, enabling it to be more visible and valued so that it can be better considered and\nutilised in the planning and delivery of services and therefore support improved outcomes for\nour population. \n\nHealthcare scientists play a vital role in delivering safe\, effective\, and innovative care across\nNHS Scotland. This paper details the areas where healthcare science can be better aligned\nwith wider health policy\, such as the Scottish Government’s Service Renewal Framework. It\nrecognises the role of the profession in advancing prevention\, digital transformation\,\npersonalised care\, and population health planning and underlines the need for greater\nvisibility and understanding of the profession to deliver on the commitments for NHS\nrenewal. \n\nView Paper HERE

SUMMARY:Oxford Online Programme in Sleep Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Oxford Online Programme in Sleep Medicine\nMSc/PGDip Sleep Medicine\, University of Oxford – 2 year online programme \nStudy With Us \nSummary\nThe Online Programme in Sleep Medicine leads to a PGDip or MSc. It is hosted by the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute (SCNi)\, in the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences\, University of Oxford. The SCNi brings together world leading expertise in basic and human sleep and circadian research\, and in the evaluation and management of sleep disorders. \nThe student body\nThis post-graduate course has so far enrolled 181 students across 55 countries worldwide\, representing more than 24 disciplines and professions. Our course has attracted physicians and healthcare professionals\, including respiratory physicians\, neurologists\, psychiatrists\, paediatricians\, geriatricians\, GPs\, specialists who are focused on ‘behavioural sleep medicine’ (e.g. clinical psychologists\, neuropsychologists)\, clinical neurophysiologists as well as applied sleep scientists\, sleep technologists\, and nurses. We have also enrolled students who are relatively early in their careers\, recently graduating from undergraduate education. \nStudents interact with each other during the weekly online discussion groups\, led and moderated by core teaching staff. While the course is almost entirely online\, our students build collegiate working relationships and networks\, forging bonds that transcend global boundaries. \nYou can find more information about our courses and apply using the links below: \nMSc in Sleep Medicine \n  \nPGDip in Sleep Medicine \n  \nYou may also wish to sign up to one of our information sessions using the link below: \n  \nInformation Booking Form \n
