Who is it for?

  • It’s for anyone who wants to know more about how the health service works in Scotland.
  • It will be useful to people who are new to Scotland, for example migrant workers or overseas students and their families.
  • It will be particularly helpful for people whose first language is not English, like asylum seekers, users of British Sign Language, and members of ethnic minority communities.
  • It will also help people who find it difficult to read written information.
  • Members of NHS staff will also find this a valuable resource to use with community groups, or with individuals and families they come into contact with.
