(NMC and Nursing and Midwifery Council, 2015) Moreover, person-centredness is a core of Scotland’s healthcare quality vision for the future.

All of this is going to happen by considering the individual’s views and experiences to improve quality, engaging them into own care and…

rules and makes all political decisions. In a monarchy, the King or Queen is the head of State. Its role is to undertake State duties, to give to the country a sense of stability and persistence, opening each new session of Parliament and approving order through the Privy Council. The Central Government also transfers power to regional organisations. This process is called devolution. Therefore, a devolved parliament is a recommended system that would give separate decision making-powers to…

The development of these settlements changed the original custom of Viking activity, in other words, it ended the traditional explanation of invasion and looting in the Viking period in the Britain Isles (Hall 1990, 22). The Vikings made a great contribution in the expansion of the European territory, re-molding the political structure, the establishment of a powerful country, and stimulate business and encourage the development of cities and towns (Owen 1999, 7).

Roy Porter has discussed the Scottish Enlightenment in these terms and in his own words, spliced ‘Scottish thinkers into the British story as a whole’. The historiography suggests many scholars and historians consider the Scottish Enlightenment to be a consequence of closer association with England and more specifically as a direct result of the Union of Crowns in 1707. Many key figures of the Enlightenment were born or were educated in Scotland, and Scotland’s contribution to the world is…

In 2015 over 2,800 children in Scotland were found to be needing protection from some form of abuse. The named person scheme aims to prevent this.

A named person will usually be a health visitor for a pre-school child and a head teacher or guidance teacher for a child of school age. The scheme was created with the aim of overseeing…

However, this was only until 1998, when a process of devolution started to transfer executive legislative powers to the other three nations of the United Kingdom, which are Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Devolution has been defined by The Royal Commission on the Constitution as ‘ the delegation of central government powers without the relinquishment of sovereignty’.
