A new development programme - Flexible Ways of Working/Flexible
Ways of Thinking - will be launched in 2002. The aim is
to promote to team leaders across Scotland the skills needed
to turn existing good policy and Partnership Information
Network (PIN) Guidelines into practice.
Evidence of flexible working arrangements for nurses and
midwives will be collated by the Scottish Executive in 2002,
and will be published.
The role of private sector expertise in delivering effective
local nurse and midwife temporary cover through partnership
agreements will be developed and evaluated in pilot Trusts
during 2002.
