‘The Opportunity is Now’ – human rights in health and social care in Scotland
Research report exploring human rights in health and social care: where we've been and the journey ahead.
In February 2023, the ALLIANCE published a commissioned research report, authored by branch social research, titled ‘The Opportunity is Now’.
The research combines an overarching literature review and analysis of eleven elite interviews across four selected case study areas:
- What next for human rights policy and health and social care in Scotland?
- Learning from the ‘pandemic experience’
- Human rights in healthcare education
- Reflection and aspirations for Scotland’s National Action Plan for Human Rights
It aims to capture some of the issues, barriers, aspirations, innovations and experiences of the health and social care sector in Scotland.
The report seeks to begin to unpack the questions and emerging issues which surround health, social care and human rights – what the sector has been through, where it is now, and where it is going.
