Training
We provide training and development workshops for contract management staff, we employ several approaches, more commonly it is via informal drop-in sessions or on request bespoke training for a requesting contract manager/NHS Board.
To enquire about training for your Board, please contact: nss.pppsst@nhs.scot
Collaborative working
Contract management staff are invited to attend our bi annual PPP Practitioner events, national forums for sharing best practice.
In addition, the team chair and facilitate West Regional/East Regional Group meetings. All PPP/PFI/NPD/HUB Contract Managers are invited to attend to network, share experience and be part of the discussion on key themes affecting their respective contracts.
The PPP/SST team has also created a Knowledge Hub, an online forum which allows Contract Managers to access PPP/PFI/NPD/HUB related guidance, training and FAQ’s. In addition, it provides a route to communicate with peers from other NHS Scotland Boards in real time, for any queries, points on interest etc.
