Our Staff and Services
Our HSCP staff are made up from NHS Shetland and Shetland Islands Council employees, working together in partnership to plan and provide our services, we call this an integrated service. The HSCP staff work within the Community Health and Social Care Directorate; the Directorate is across both the NHS and the Council. It is the excellent joint working of our teams, the good communication, sharing of knowledge and skills and their commitment to work together to provide the best for our community that enables us to meet our ambitions and goals.
We couldn’t provide our high quality services without our staff and their commitment to providing excellent health and care support. As a HSCP we are committed to ensuring that we will continue to listen to and support our staff, ensuring they are able to work in a safe, respectful, engaging and positive environment.
Our teams will work together to help us to achieve our goals and ambitions.
