Health and Social Care Structures

Established in 2021, and hosted by NHS Golden Jubilee, the national Centre for Sustainable Delivery (CfSD) will play a vital role in supporting Scotland’s national efforts to remobilise, recover and redesign (3Rs) towards a better health care system. The Centre will also support the rapid rollout of new techniques, innovation, and safe, fast and efficient care pathways for Scotland’s patients. It will offer customised assistance across NHSScotland to help tackle a variety of challenges in health and care.

The Golden Jubilee Research Institute, formally known as the Beardmore Centre for Health Science, facilitates and supports research which conforms to the quality standards required by guidance (the Research Governance Framework for Health and Community Care SGHD 2006) and legislation (the EU Clinical Trials Directive). It hosts projects sponsored by device and pharmaceutical companies as well as projects sponsored by Universities and by other NHS organisations.

NHS Scotland is made up of 14 regional NHS Boards, seven national NHS Boards and one public health body. Each NHS Board is accountable to the Scottish Government. Regional NHS Boards are responsible for the protection and the improvement of their population's health and for the delivery of frontline healthcare services. National NHS Boards support the regional NHS Boards by providing a range of important specialist and national services. 1

NHS Golden Jubilee is Scotland’s only national NHS Board with its own National Hospital, Research Institute, Innovation Centre and Conference Hotel. NHS Golden Jubilee is unique within the NHS, independently run by its own NHS Board. It is helping to re-define the concept of the public hospital, with a vision of “Delivering care through collaboration” for NHSScotland.
