NHS Scotland

I've also run a pilot group with Maggie's in Forth Valley for an intimacy group, one for males, one for females and one for couples, which went quite well.

And I'm also working with Kirsten on embedding sexual health and wellbeing into clinical practice within NHS Scotland.

Hi Grace, I'm Kirsten Mitchell.

I'm a professor at the University of Glasgow and I co-lead a sexual health and wellbeing group where we do research on all areas of sexual health and wellbeing, including with young people.

NHS Scotland.

Six of the 14 Scottish health boards.

Seven Scottish councils.

This new funding will see the total number of doctors supported since the programme began reach more than 100.

As well as help expand casework support, establish a new physician network connecting refugee doctors with experienced NHS Scotland clinicians, and create a fund to help cover costs that can act as a barrier to qualifying.

The programme also currently provides end-to-end support resulting in approximately 12 refugee doctors obtaining their GMC registration each year, with 86 refugee doctors currently progressing.

Since 2017, the Scottish Government has provided over £1.6 million to support the programme.

A cyber security flaw in something called PHP has left millions of websites vulnerable to attack, including giants such as Amazon and Wikipedia.

In the UK, the Office for Budget Responsibility, NHS Scotland and Oxford County Council are among the public bodies that decided to temporarily take down their sites.

That's because never once to miss an opportunity to steal our personal data, hackers are responding in a way their name suggests.

The head of one major tech company claims there have been millions of exploitation attempts against the PHP flaw since it emerged.

I'm in the local government pension Scotland pension scheme and projections at 60 suggest I will receive roughly 19,000 a year and a tax-free lump sum of around 50,000.

My wife is in the NHS Scotland pension scheme.

Her projections suggest an annual pension of circa 9,000 with a tax-free lump sum of 15.

I have been paying the maximum amount under salary sacrifice to the local government AVC since we became mortgage-free, so there should be a minimum of £90,000 in that pot, which I intend to take as a tax-free lump sum.

I would be looking at Scotland's digital data needs.

So what do we need for archives and for things like NHS patient data and even things like running government websites? Right now, a lot of our government is run on the cloud, which just means someone else's computer.

The Scottish government's website, gov.scot, the physical hard drives that that website is stored on are in Seattle.

Right.

I'm the Director of Engagement and Change at Healthcare Improvement Scotland.

I think I am really privileged and fortunate to lead a directorate that combines both our transformational change work with also our statutory duties as an organisation around public involvement across NHS Scotland.

So it is a brilliant combination of engagement and change.

And background, I have worked for slightly terrifyingly just over 30 years now in healthcare.

A fairly diverse range of roles I absolutely will go through in the world, but I started life as a pharmacist before taking on leadership roles within NHS boards.

Initially very much in pharmacy, but then broadening out to broader quality improvement and management roles.

And that included developing the Near Me video consulting service for NHS Scotland.

which was very much shaped through really meaningful engagement of people and communities.
