Building stronger public services together

Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland) brings together NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) into a single national organisation that is designed to speed up modernisation across Scotland’s health, care, and wider public services.

Overview

Providing sustainable support for health and care services

PSD Scotland will help shape health and social care across Scotland by ensuring high quality, efficient services that are fit for changing needs. 

Our work supports the ten year direction set by Scottish Government's Health and Social Care Service Renewal and Population Health frameworks. This will bring care closer to home, strengthens prevention and helps build a sustainable and joined-up system that is innovative and responsive to local communities.
