This round table aimed to provide an opportunity for third sector organisations to discuss the health protection issues they encounter in their work, find out more about the support and resources Health Protection Scotland (HPS) can offer, and share good policies and practice. The round table also set out to explore whether the NHS Scotland National Infection Prevention and Control Manual is a useful resource for the third sector, or whether it needs adapted for use for the sector. In light of the development of Public Health Scotland, the meeting also acted as a catalyst for the development of cross-sectoral partnership working and information sharing.
