In June 2025, the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care introduced two key frameworks: the Population Health Framework and the Service Renewal Framework (SRF). The SRF sets out an ambitious vision to drive innovation and enable more integrated delivery across Scotlands health and care services. As part of this transformation, NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) and NHS Education for Scotland (NES) will come together to form a new organisation: Public Services Delivery Scotland in April 2026. The new organisation will play a pivotal role in supporting the renewal and long-term sustainability of health and care services across Scotland.

The Health Inequalities Fellowship is particularly suited to doctors who have recently completed GP Specialty Training who may have had some previous experience of working in a deprived area and have an interest in developing specific skills related to Health Inequality which are relevant to the health needs of Scotland.
Commitment-
0.5 wte (5 sessions per week)
Clinical component The West Region of Scotland Fellowship normally consists of five sessions per week working in the Glasgow Homeless Unit. In the South East and East there will be 2 to 3 sessions in the Access practice. This includes the provision of general medical services but with an emphasis on the general practice aspects of high deprivation. The part time posts will allow time to continue to develop generalist skills in the context of service general practice (eg through a locum appointment) while undertaking a tailored programme of exposure and training in relation to the Fellowship.
The Academic component will involve being attached to the regional NES Postgraduate GP unit with opportunities to become involved with educational developments, quality assurance initiatives and evaluation/research. Individuals will be encouraged to start a postgraduate qualification relevant to the Fellowship.
