Scottish Medicines Consortium
Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) is a public body created in April 2011. It is part of the Scottish National Health Service.
HIS was established by the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010, taking over the work of NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) and the regulatory functions, in regard to independent healthcare provision, previously conducted by the Care Commission, now renamed the Care Inspectorate.
The function of the new body is to implement the healthcare priorities of the Scottish Government, in particular the Healthcare Quality Strategy of NHS Scotland.
