Current Programmes
The New People Managers and Supervisors Induction Pathway
This newly developed pathway which is a key element of a new manager’s induction, offers an important development opportunity for new managers and supervisors based on the People Management Guide and designed to provide a clear guidance for new managers joining NHSGGC and signposting next steps in development for their career journey.
This Pathway is currently sitting under Step 6 of the Induction Process which is called Professional and Role Specific Induction. All hiring managers, recruiting someone new who has people management responsibility, have to direct them to this resource during their induction time and must certify that the new manager has been signposted and accessed this pathway when signing off their induction.
This Pathway is also beneficial for current managers and those who aspire to a managerial role.
This Pathway replaces the Foundation Programme for New Managers and Supervisors.
Essential Skills for Managers (An Introduction)
This 3 half day programme will support you in developing key day-to-day skills and confidence required to manage people and resources. We will focus on four interrelated themes:
- Communicating and Influencing
- Organising and Delegating including Performance and Time Management
- Managing Change
- Problem Solving and Decision Making
This programme complements, the New People Managers and Supervisors Induction Pathway and the People Management Programme (policies and managing people) with essential, but sometimes taken for granted, management skills.
This programme also replaces the ILM programme which covered similar topics.
The programme is open to new, current and future operational managers.
Looking for support with your people management responsibilities? (People Management Programme)
The People Management Programme is intended to reflect and support the development of wider people management skills in those individuals who are experienced and established managers.

Useful Resources for Managers or Supervisors
There are numerous management resources available, but it can be difficult find what is right for you. Here are a few that that we have found useful.
The Knowledge Network
This is a national knowledge management platform for health and social care in Scotland. It is developed and maintained by the Knowledge Services group at NHS Education for Scotland. The Leadership and Management section will be of particular interest.
The Good Practice pages (also accessible from The Knowledge Network) offer a wide range of ‘bite-size’ learning opportunities (often less than 10 mins). Typically they provide hints and tips, templates and models you can use. To access you will need to follow the Good Practice link (may require an Athens account).
Examples include:
- Learning and Development – Top tips for coaching (4 mins)
- HR – 5 things managers can do right now (3 mins)
- Leadership and Strategy – How to answer questions about change (5 mins)
- Managing People – Delivering feedback (10 mins), How to delegate (6 mins)
- Personal skills – Building self confidence (3 mins)
- Projects and Operations – Introduction to continuous improvement (5 mins)
Leadership and Management Zone
A recently developed (and growing) Leadership and Management Zone can be found on Turas Learn. The site plans to offer a range of helpful resources whether you are an experienced manager or thinking about pursuing a management/supervisory role.
Open University
Free Open University courses can be downloaded for use on tablets, kindle etc. Each course has a guide to the number of hours study. For example, ‘Managing and Leading People, takes 8 hrs and is at level 3 Advanced.
ACAS
The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) is nationally recognised service which also provides valuable guidance and supporting resources. Here are some further top tips from the website, e.g., Performance Management.

Adult Learners
As an organisation supporting a diverse range of learning and education opportunities we have designed this page to support the needs of adult learners. Our content has been developed with the help of NHSGGC staff who have taken a step back into learning, looking to adapt to workplace changes and to apply new knowledge, skills and approaches in their job.
By highlighting routes for guidance and support and celebrating the achievements of learners we hope to encourage people of all backgrounds or ages, to be inspired to give learning a go.
“In NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde we believe learning is for everyone regardless of age or stage of career. Learning can help us prepare for new roles in our constantly changing organisation. Effective learning is a partnership between the learner and NHSGGC. The aim of these pages is to help you access the kind of learning that suits you. We want every member of our staff to have equal access to learning, education and development which is relevant to their needs.”
Lyndsay Lauder, Head of Workforce Planning & Development

Quick Guide to Internal Training and Meeting Facilities
The following information provides guidance to two internal routes for accessing training and meeting room facilities in NHSGGC:
NHSGGC Work Space Manager
This is an online self booking system which offers access to a wide range of rooms across NHSGGC with seating capacity from under 20 to a maximum of 120.
Work Space Manager (WSM) is the general booking system for the range of meeting and training rooms in NHSGGC. WSM provides the facility to search for venues using date, location and required resources.
When a user accesses Work Space Manager (WSM) for the first time, they will be required to login; the login will be their email address with a blank password. Once logged in, they are presented with the application set to the highest level of location hierarchy. The nature of the application allows for multiple levels of locations before ending in a floor plan where the resources may be found.
For any issues or additional information, email: Eleanor.Naismith@ggc.scot.nhs.uk or Brian.Gracie@ggc.scot.nhs.uk
Teaching and Learning Centre, Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Campus
This is a purpose built teaching and learning centre with a 500-seat capacity lecture theatre plus a range of small (5-12 seats), medium (18-24 seats), large (45-50 seats) and X-Large (72-81 seats) teaching rooms.
An appendix is available at the end of this page to provide a quick guide to some of the sites across NHSGGC indicating small, medium or large venues.
The centre was developed jointly by NHSGGC and The University of Glasgow. It represents an investment of £27 million which provided a state of the art learning and teaching environment for University of Glasgow undergraduate medical and nursing students as well as students studying on a variety of clinical science postgraduate programmes. It also provides postgraduate training facilities for medical staff and a large variety of NHS professionals thus ensuring we train the next generation of doctors, nurses, scientists, clinical academics and support staff to the highest standards.
Three floors of this purpose built centre are dedicated to teaching and learning. The fourth floor is a purpose built, £5M Clinical Innovation Zone which accommodates the Stratified Medicine Scotland-Innovation Centre, a University of Glasgow-led, Scotland wide collaboration with industry that is a leading initiative in the field of ‘precision medicine’, a National Centre of Excellence for the UK Precision Medicine Catapult, and incubator units for industry.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is a great organisation with a huge pool of terrific talent. We are committed to fairness and equality and take a zero tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination.
It is key that we are all committed to the core NHS values of: Care and Compassion, Dignity and Respect, Openness, Honesty, Responsibility, Quality and Teamwork and we use these values to guide us in all that we do.
We have access to some of the finest facilities and resources in the country, but it is the values and attitudes we demonstrate as individuals that make the biggest difference to our patients and their families.
These key messages are important for new colleagues joining our organisation, but I also believe it is important that we all remind ourselves of the opportunities we have to impact very positively on the lives of thousands of patients and their families no matter what job we do as part of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
Your Induction marks the first stage of ongoing development throughout your career with NHSGGC. The Once for Scotland Personal Development Planning and Review Policy gives a framework for review discussion, objective setting and personal development planning and outlines the key responsibilities for Managers and Staff within this.
We are always looking for ways to improve the on boarding experience for new staff members, and your feedback is invaluable.
We are inviting you to participate in a Collaborative Conversation to discuss your experiences as a new starter at NHSGGC. This is a great opportunity to share your thoughts on what went well during your recruitment, on boarding and first few months with us. If you are new to the organisation within the last 6 months you should receive an invite to a session either via Teams or face to face.
The session will last approximately 90 minutes and will be facilitated by the Staff Experience and Learning & Education teams.
Your participation is completely voluntary and confidential. All information shared during the focus group will be anonymised and used solely to improve the on boarding experience for future new starters. Places are limited, so please register early to book your space. If you can’t attend but are looking for other opportunities to be involved, you can find more information on our Staff Experience pages.

‘Digital learning has progressed rapidly to cover a wide range of formal course-based e-Learning packages and products together with a huge variety of complementary or alternative techniques, such as sharing knowledge or links to resources via social/interactive media sites and viewing / participating in online lectures, webinars, podcasts or blogs’ (CIPD, 2020)
The following provides a guide to identifying and developing digital educational methods that complement or replace classroom-based training:
How do I get started?
Digital Learning can be a combination of methods including informal and self-directed activities (e.g. making use of web-based resources) and structured interventions using virtual environments (e.g. Cisco Webex, MS Teams) or eLearning. Whether it is newly commissioned training (perhaps resulting from a Training Needs Analysis) or a revision of current provision then following these basic principles will help to identify the most appropriate learning method(s) and preparation for a virtual session if that is required.
Purpose/Outcomes: A clear statement of why the training is necessary and what participants are expected to achieve e.g. specific knowledge, particular skills, transferable skills, better understanding, behaviour change.
Audience:
- Who they are and why they have been identified e.g. single discipline, multi-disciplinary team, self-selection, mandatory. An understanding of these factors will encourage buy-in from participants.
- Essential to identify potential barriers to access and mitigate as far as possible.
- Digital literacy, vital to recognise that not all staff may have the skills or confidence to engage effectively with some aspects of Digital Learning.
- Disabilities e.g. supporting a deaf colleague in a virtual environment such as MS Teams.
- Important that delegates have line manager support as this will aid follow-up and application of learning.
- IT access. Do staff have access to equipment and appropriate software? Some staff may use their own devices e.g. home PC, so you will need to ensure that they are provided with guidance to check for potential access issues.
- Will there be an expectation that staff will use their own devices e.g. smart phones to access an app?
- Also important to acknowledge the participant’s physical environment e.g. will they have distractions when accessing MS Teams.
- Ensure that when planning the session you include opportunity for engagement and interaction where possible.
Evaluation, assessment and reporting requirements:
- Evaluation can aid measurement of value/effectiveness. An assessment may be required to confirm achievement to an agreed standard.
- The reporting on evidence of attainment may also be required and consideration given to the most appropriate mechanism e.g. eESS.
Planning for virtual environments (if required) e.g. MS Teams:
- Promotion (or participant identification) and booking process.
- Joining instructions – date, start time, duration, session link and any supplementary material.
- Session planning (further guidance below).
You may also find this Digital Learning Planner useful to help you consider and plan a digital learning experience.
Digital Learning Options
This table sets out a range of common approaches to Digital Learning. These approaches are not mutually exclusive and can (and should) be used in combination.
Resources
Here are two great resources that you should check out:
- NES provides guides and resources which include an introduction to MS Teams, a guide to transferring face to face training online as well as dates of facilitation training sessions.
- The College Development Network has produced this really well structured, up to date site that you should not miss.
The following pages offer more specific guidance on the respective approaches. They can be used in combination and a ‘blended’ approach can produce better outcomes.

The Learning and Education service offers a range of development opportunities for all staff from entry into post and throughout the span of your career. From formal qualifications to learning pathways, we will provide you with practical solutions tailored to your needs. This may be by completing a work based qualification, attending a tutor led session or using online learning resources.
Our Learning, Education and Training Catalogue outlines information on the wide range of tutor led and online courses that are available. Access to online learning is flexible and resources can be accessed from mobile devices, work or home PCs at any time.
Your learning and development should be discussed and reviewed with your line manager or supervisor throughout the year and at your annual Personal Development Planning and Review conversation. Your agreed learning will then be recorded electronically in your Personal Development Plan.
Support for learning is outlined in the section on our staff NHSGGC Bursary Fund.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Lead Employer
NHS Scotland has 4 lead employers for doctors and dentists in training:
- NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde: West Region
- NHS Lothian: East Region
- NHS Grampian: North Region
- NHS Education for Scotland: GP Training and National Programmes.
NES is the Lead Employer for all GP and National Programme trainees with the 3 other Lead Employers covering the other specialties and foundation trainees on a regional basis.
The other Boards continue to host trainees on placement as part of the training programme, they are known as ‘Placement Boards’. Whilst the Employing Boards have employment responsibilities, the Placement Boards continue to have clinical governance responsibility and operational management for those engaged in providing clinical care to Placement Board patients. The Lead Employer model has been developed in partnership with the British Medical Association.
To support this work the Turas platform has been extended to include Turas People, an application that now assists medical staffing/ HR colleagues in employment related workflows, facilitating the provision of information between trainees, Placement Boards and Employing Boards, reducing duplication across systems and assisting in ensuring that the trainees get paid accurately.
We hope these changes have improved the Doctors and Dentists in Training employment journey as follows:
- Less employment related administration and duplication of information provided
- A single contract of employment for the duration of a programme
- Reduced tax issues
- Continuous service with one employer making it easier for you to access employee benefits
- Clearer employment arrangements for money lenders (e.g. mortgages, cars and credit rating).
Dental Trainees
In December 2021 all Dentists in Specialty Training transferred to NHS Education for Scotland (NES) employment. This move seeks to align the contract of employment to a National Board, provide consistency in business processes, and as a result improve the dental trainee employment journey.
This transfer has been agreed in partnership and consultation taken place with current Employing Boards and the British Dental Association.
Terms and Conditions
For terms and conditions for resident doctors and dentists please visit the MSG Website.
Standing Operating Procedures
Placement Boards deliver employment related activity on behalf of the Employing Boards, these can be found in the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

Your placement will determine which Board you should contact if you have a query. Please see list of Placement Boards below.
