Health and Social Care Structures

Under the remit of National Services Scotland, national managed clinical networks bring together a range of health and other professionals involved in providing care for patients with rare and/or complex conditions when the full range of skills required isn't available within an NHS board or even within a region. Operating on a national level they work across professional and organisational boundaries to support Scottish Government policy aims. Clinical networks, in the main, support service improvement for patients with rare conditions or highly complex needs, e.g. inherited metabolic disorder.
