The NHS Confederation is committed to connecting and supporting all parts of the NHS. The Confederation offers any NHS organisation in Scotland a low-cost subscription service to our core information for members from across the rest of the UK.

This will provide a mechanism for organisations to see what developments are taking place around the UK.

Package

We are offering organisations in Scotland two options:

Standard package

• one copy of all our briefings, reports and leading edge material (around 35 publications per year)
• a copy of the NHS Handbook, which we produce annually which provides a UK-wide overview of the NHS
• access to our daily press summary e-mail - essential reading for anyone wanting to keep up to date with events in the health service
• access to the member-only sections of our website for all your staff, including our publications archive
• our Interchange e-bulletins which will keep you up to date on the work of the Confederation
• reduced rates for you and your colleagues at all our events, such as the Confederation's annual conference and exhibition.

Enhanced package:

All the above material, but the enhanced package offers subscribers five copies of all our briefings, reports and leading edge material.

Enhanced package - the fee per organisation is £550 per organisation and this will cover the period 1 April - 31 March.

Benefits

Subscribing to this scheme will enable your organisation to:

Although this scheme is an information based service, the NHS Confederation will work with subscribers to develop networking events and informative conferences on request. Also, the Confederation is also considering holding some events around cross border learning around the UK.
