Scottish Board
Scottish Board
The Scottish Board meetings are extremely busy and cover a lot of ground including quality and safety, professionalism and excellence, training and workforce planning, and links with Scottish Government work. They offer a chance to ‘link up’ activity in Scotland and provide an opportunity to highlight issues to the College Council at the RCoA.
"Office bearers and elected members of the Scottish Board are joined at the meetings by representatives from College Council, including either the president or a vice president and members of the RCoA’s senior management team. The Board benefits from input from the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network and academic anaesthesia as it focuses on initiatives such as POM and health improvement work."
