Drawing on the strengths of both parent organisations, NHS Scotland Academy uses state-of-the-art clinical and simulation facilities at NHSGJ and the educational expertise and technology-enabled learning offered by NES. This partnership provides learners the training and facilities to improve their skills in specific areas through residential, distance and virtual learning. A dispersed model of delivery is used, with other skills and simulation centres across Scotland also playing a role, as NHS Scotland Academy seeks to provoke a collaborative approach to education and training needs.
