IN Scotland

Welcome

The aim of the IN Scotland section is to promote discussion about and involvement in eHealth developments and events which are unique to Scotland. The information will be of interest to members who live and work in Scotland as well as members from other parts of the UK.

The Information in Nursing Forum exists for all nurses who have an interest in the use of clinical information regardless of which part of the UK they live and work in. However, each of the four UK countries are implementing eHealth and Information and Communication Technology strategies in their own unique way. To reflect this, IN Forum attempt to have a representative from each UK country on its Steering Committee.

Your contribution is essential to make sure that this page can achieve its aims. Are you aware of an eHealth event or resource which affects nurses in Scotland? If so, please share it by contacting Alison Wallis

Another way for you to make your voice heard is by using the IN Forum community discussion zone to generate a debate about topics of interest. (Please note that this requires the user to be logged in via My RCN.)
