The established national knowledge strategies for health and social care in Scotland set out a commitment to supporting health and social care staff to find, share and apply knowledge in their practice, policy and planning. The services outlined in this Invitation to Tender will play a crucial role in delivering on this commitment, providing content and multi-channel digital platforms that support the full range of health and social care workers, learners and citizens to use knowledge on an “anytime, anywhere” basis within the aim of embedding education and research within day-to-day practice.
