Data Strategy for Health and Social Care - Collation of Views

This survey seeks to gather views to inform the Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership's response for Scot Gov consultation on a Data Strategy for health and social care.

This will include detailed consideration of how to increase peoples’ trust and transparency in data sharing. It will also examine how to unlock the value of health and social care data as well as how the tricky challenges around safeguarding our data can be addressed. It will take into consideration ethics, standards, relationships with industry and legislative requirements throughout the Strategy development.

Our current working vision for the Strategy is:

• To improve the health and wellbeing of the Scottish population through innovative, collaborative, and ethical use of data.

To help us achieve our vision we have three ambitions:

• For the people of Scotland: Empower individuals to have greater access to, and greater control over, their own health and social care data.
• For those delivering health and social care services: Empowering the people who deliver health and social care services by giving them the confidence and ability to securely access, gather and share relevant information to make timely decisions and deliver better outcomes.
• For innovators, industry, and researchers: Ensure use of high-quality data to drive the development of new and improved, treatments, technologies, and ways of working for public benefit.

The survey will close 3rd August 2022.
