In response to point 2 above, Healthcare Improvement Scotland has been exploring the benefits of embedding human rights more explicitly in their work, and are using the Scottish Patient Safety Programme and Our Voice to consider how this approach can be used to ensure human rights are at the heart of delivering their work. The Scottish Human Rights Commission agreed to provide advice and support for this process and have delivered a training session for relevant staff to explore human rights in the work of the programmes and to consider tools for embedding them in practice.
