The Annual Review of NHS National Services Scotland’s performance for 2023/24 took place today at the Board’s Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service headquarters in Edinburgh.

Our Director of HR and Organisational Development Serena Barnatt was delighted to join delegates and fellow speakers yesterday at the Scottish Ethnic Minority Talent Summit and Festival in Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh. Taking part in a roundtable discussion alongside leaders from public and private sectors across Scotland, the session worked to discuss how cultural intelligence can enhance leadership effectiveness and foster inclusive environments. Reflecting on the event, Serena said: “Cultural intelligence enhances leadership effectiveness. It enables leaders to understand and respect different perspectives, building both stronger relationships and improving communication and collaboration. “By nurturing an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected, we harness the full potential of our diverse workforce. This has a positive impact on the services we provide for the people of Scotland.” #SEMFEST2024

Did you know that for the past few years, we’ve participated in the Health Data Science Black Internship Programme? Through this programme we’ve supported placements within our Digital and Security directorate, providing hands-on experience alongside our health data specialists and partner teams across health and care in Scotland. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/dKfAUKN4 Data science is a rapidly growing specialism within our organisation and across NHSScotland. It has significant potential to support and improve health and care outcomes for patients. Through our partnership with the programme, we’re helping to address the underrepresentation of Black people in the sector. By providing candidates with valuable experience, we support interns to expand their knowledge and gain experience by working on key opportunities and issues within Scotland’s health and care. #ProudToWorkAtNSS Our Director of HR and Organisational Development, Serena Barnatt, is attending the Scottish Ethnic Minority Talent Summit and Festival later this week.
