"The NHS Scotland Global Citizenship Programme has established and supported a vibrant community of NHS Scotland staff who are interested in global health work and international volunteering. NHS staff in Scotland have a global outlook which has allowed them to both share skills and expertise with other health systems, and also to learn from those same health systems in order to bring home new ideas to improve patient care at home in Scotland." Neil Gray, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
