This release by Public Health Scotland (PHS) reports on systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) activity across NHS services in Scotland. Treatment activity includes the weekly number of appointments and the monthly and annual number of appointments and patients receiving treatment.

This report presents provisional information on laboratory reports of norovirus in Scotland compared to the same time last year and the average for the same time period of the previous five years.

This progression framework aims to help public sector organisations in Scotland recognise and make the most of their power as ‘anchor institutions’ in order to improve outcomes for local people and the environment.

These reports detail the engagement undertaken by PHS to understand barriers to and facilitators for the collection of equalities data. There are four reports covering focus groups with the public, an NHSScotland staff survey, a third-sector workshop, and a summary of all the engagement with recommendations.

Two information booklets to support the collection of equalities data. These give definitions and uses for this data. One of the booklets is for staff and discusses how to hold good conversations when asking for data. The other is for the public and details why you might be asked for data as a patient, and how the data will be held securely.
