Managers are being invited discover the benefits of NSS Discovery- a specialist service-planning and delivery system.
Dr Nelson Kennedy, from NHS National Services, is currently working with NHS Lanarkshire to highlight the system and encourage conversations on data intelligence and insights.
Nelson explained: “NSS Discovery can help managers to review performance, benchmark against ‘peer’ hospitals and services in Scotland, England and Wales, and identify areas where resources can be targeted to address health and care needs at a local level.

Nelson is offering one-hour NSS Discovery clinics and will be available for one-to-one or group discussions. He can be contacted at nelson.kennedy@nhs.net. For more information on NSS Discovery visit www.nssdiscovery.scot.nhs.uk.
