We have published the new quality framework for nurse agencies. It reflects Scotland’s Health and Social Care Standards, which are rights-based, person-led and outcome-focused.

The primary purpose of the framework is to support services to self-evaluate their own performance.  It will also be used by our inspectors to provide independent assurance about the quality of care and support.  By setting out what we expect to see in high-quality care and support provision, it can help support improvement too. 

You can find out more about the framework here.
