Welcome to the National Practice Forum

Our main aims are to;

• Provide a mechanism for national consultation / reference on policy as it relates to electronic data sharing;
• Facilitate neutral reporting based upon professional experience and expertise as opposed to local or agency representation regarding data sharing;
• Provide an overview of practice implications for new policies and provide where appropriate realistic expectations in relation to data sharing; and,
• Provide a network for information sharing across Scotland regarding good practice about policy implementation.

We will achieve this through hosting regular Forum meetings held on a 12 week cycle in Aberdeen, Edinburgh & Glasgow and by providing a communication framework and networking opportunities for practitioners to scrutinise policy and implementation issues and in light of this for recommendations to be made.
