IDEAS and Scotdec, in partnership with the Global Health Coordination Unit at the National Health Service Scotland have launched a suite of Active Global Citizenship resources and training for NHS staff.

Through educational activities and opportunities for networking and collaboration, the Active Global Citizenship workstream aims to increase NHS Scotland’s global health contribution by empowering NHS Scotland staff to participate in global citizenship through day-to-day working here in Scotland.  There are many examples of such work already going on throughout NHS Scotland included in the resources.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been used as a framework with which to map possible “touch points” for NHS Scotland staff to reflect, to highlight case studies to inspire, or organisations to network with.

You can view the resource – ‘Active Global Citizenship’ – on the NHS Global Health Coordination Unit website
