NHSGGC Board Induction

On appointment, Non-Executive Board members are issued with an induction pack, containing information useful for new colleagues about NHSGGC’s governance structures, details on existing Board members and their biographies. The pack will also include further helpful information to assist our Non-Executive Board members to settle into their role.

All Board members undergo an induction programme, completing a series of introductory meetings with key personnel across the organisation.

They will also be assigned a ‘buddy’ from our existing Non-Executive Board member group who will offer support and guidance while bedding into their exciting new role within the organisation. NHS Scotland also support the induction of new Board Members NHS Scotland – Induction Approach – What Non-Executives can expect from Board Induction.

The personal development needs of individual Board Members is also supported by NHS Education Scotland Board Development | Turas. New Board Members are required to register on TURAS and should make full use of this resource.

The induction programme also requires Board Members to familiarise themselves with the key documents that explain who we are, what we do and how we work together to deliver our roles and responsibilities.

These documents are listed below.
