About this website

On this website you can find videos which provide a clear and simple guide to the
NHS in Scotland.

This includes information about family doctors (GPs), dentists, opticians,
pharmacists, and out of hours services. 

There is an introduction with some important general information, and a short section
on how to give comments, whether good or bad, about services. 

The videos show what different NHS services look like, using up to date film of these
services. 

You can also print out the scripts in all the languages.

Who is this information for?

It’s for anyone who wants to know more about how the health service works in
Scotland.

It will be useful to people who are new to Scotland, for example migrant workers or
overseas students and their families.

It will be particularly helpful for people whose first language is not English, like
asylum seekers, users of British Sign Language, and members of ethnic minority
communities.

It will also help people who find it difficult to read written information.

Health professionals will also find this a valuable resource to use with community
groups, or with individuals and families they come into contact with.
