About us

The purpose of Healthcare Improvement Scotland is to enable the people of Scotland to experience the best quality of health and social care.

The areas where we can make the most impact and focus our efforts are:

  • enabling people to make informed choices about their care and treatment
  • helping health and social care organisations to improve their services
  • providing evidence and sharing knowledge with services to help them improve
  • enabling people to get the best out of the services they use
  • providing quality assurance that gives people confidence in NHS services
  • making the best use of resources to add value to the care people receive

Our broad work programme supports health and social care services to improve. This includes the regulation of independent hospitals and clinics.
