Scottish Clinical Imaging Network

SCIN Horizon Scanning Group

This SCIN subgroup was established to look at future models for radiology service delivery and workforce issues in imaging in Scotland. The concept of the self assessment tool mentioned above was developed from within this group in addition to the metrics required for data visibility. This is important for service assessment and review.

Current work in this group includes advice on workplace facilities and health in the workplace. Further work in this group will follow on from Scottish Government initiatives and from projects sitting under Scottish Government direction. Sub groups will be formed as and when needed to develop responses to these initiatives.

SCIN is well placed as the pathway between services and government projects such as Shared Services, working in partnership to implement initiatives and joining forces towards providing data supporting the Shared Services agenda. Much of the work already undertaken by SCIN such as quality issues and standardisation of aspects of front line service already supports the Shared Services agenda.

Healthy Working Lives

The group identified that SCIN had a role in contributing to Imaging staff health and well being at work. With this in mind, SCIN (in collaboration with National Services Scotland Communication Department) developed a poster “Are You Sitting Comfortably?” that is being launched at the SCIN Annual Event before being circulated to all Imaging Departments in Scotland.
