Staff Governance Committee

Welcome to the Staff Governance Committee page. 
 

The overall purpose of the Staff Governance Committee is to advise Tayside NHS Board on its responsibility, accountability and performance against the NHS Scotland Staff Governance Standard, addressing the issues of policy, targets and organisational effectiveness.

1. Chair - Heather Dunk
2. Vice Chair - Jenny Alexander
3. Lead Officer - Kevin Reith

The NHS Reform (Scotland) Act required Boards to keep in place and to monitor arrangements for the purpose of improving the management of the officers employed alongside workforce planning.
 

This will be demonstrated through the achievement and progress toward the Staff Governance Standard by:
 

• Well Informed;
• Appropriately trained and developed;
• Involved in decisions;
• Treated fairly and consistently, with dignity and respect, in an environment where diversity is valued;
• Provided with a continuously improving and safe working environment, promoting the health and wellbeing of staff, patients and the wider community;
• To monitor and evaluate progress through the approval of local human resource strategies and implementation plans;
• To oversee the timely submission of Whistleblowing Quarterly Updates and to recommend the approval of the Annual Report at the Tayside NHS Board;
• To adopt People & Culture and Health and Safety (including fire safety) policies.
