Staff governance is about how NHSScotland
staff are managed, and feel they are managed.
The NHS Reform (Scotland) Act makes NHS employers legally
accountable for staff governance, in the same way that they
are already responsible under law for the quality of clinical
care and for appropriate financial management.
The Staff Governance Standard is the key policy document which
defines the five elements that make up staff governance.
The Standard also shows how staff governance fits into a
broader strategic framework, as well as describing the roles
and responsibilities of different groups in relation to the
Standard.
One of the elements of the Standard, that staff should be
"treated fairly and consistently" is measured through
organisational implementation of Partnership Information Network
(PIN) policies.
