SUMMARY:Connecting Health in Scotland and New Zealand
DESCRIPTION:We are set to hold a fascinating international exchange of views and experiences over lunch\, in a round table discussion with Paula Baker\, Manager of the  Braemar Charitable Trust\,  Hamilton\, New Zealand. Paula is coming to Edinburgh this September for the Social Enterprise World Forum  and reached out to VHS to say ‘kia ora!’ and to ask for some help in  building connections with our voluntary and public health sectors whilst she is here. In response we of course said  “ceud mìle fàilte” and offered to pull together a group of people who we thought would share a lot of interests with Paula. \nBraemar Hospital is 100% owned by the Braemar Charitable Trust and is over 90 years old. It is one of the largest private hospitals in New Zealand\, offering a comprehensive range of specialist services. The Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland  is kindly hosting the lunch and round table at their offices in Edinburgh. \nThis is an invitation only event due to limited space\, but please get in touch with Lauren Blair if you have a particular interest in attending.

SUMMARY:Brexit and Health Briefing
DESCRIPTION:We are told that extensive planning is under way to prepare the health service for a no-deal Brexit scenario in England. But what about Brexit’s implications for health and social care in Scotland – how much do we know and understand? \nAt this event there will be a full briefing from Erin McGinley from the Scottish Parliament’s SPICe team\, co-author of Leaving the EU – Implications for Health and Social Care . There will be the opportunity to hear some third sector perspectives on Brexit and health and plenty of time to raise and consider questions. Confirmed to speak are: \n\nNick Hay\, NHS Health Scotland\nDr Neil Henery\, Camphill Scotland\nLindsay Paterson\, The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh\n\nView the event agenda \nRegister for this event here \nWhy attend this event? \n\nGet a comprehensive insight into the issues as seen by the Scottish Parliament Information Centre\nParticipate in a forum for engagement and knowledge sharing\nExplore the concerns – and potential solutions – that are exercising voluntary health organisations\n\nLeaving the EU could have implications for the regulation of health and social care in Scotland. If the UK leaves the single market and customs union there could be difficulties maintaining existing standards and procedures. There are a number of elements of reciprocal healthcare and the free movement of healthcare which could be affected by Brexit.  There is uncertainty surrounding the UK’s membership of\, or cooperation with\, several EU agencies\, that could impact on the availability of medicines\, healthcare techniques and technology. Funding from the EU\, and collaborative relationships\, have had a significant impact on the quality of health research in the UK. There are also issues to be resolved surrounding good laboratory practice\, legislation on blood\, organs\, tissues and cells\, food compositional standards and labelling and data protection. Data suggests the NHS in Scotland may be less reliant on non-UK EU nationals than the NHS elsewhere in the UK\, but our social care services may be more reliant than the NHS. Brexit may present some opportunities in relation to the mutual recognition of qualifications and procurement policy in the NHS. Amendments to the Working Time Directive\, although not universally welcomed\, could also add to training opportunities for junior doctors. \nRegister for this event here \nVHS members £10 plus eventbrite booking fee. \nNon members £15 plus eventbrite booking fee. \nThe registration fee includes tea\, coffee\, scones and key messages report with link to presentation from the meeting.
