Scottish Care of Older People (SCoOP) Project

SCoOP has the following overarching aims:

• To evaluate the variation in service provision for older people who require health and social care in various settings to serve as a driver for standardisation and improvementof care across Scotland
• To provide benchmarking tools for various care aspects of older people in Scottish NHS health and social care setting to support improvement work in services across Scotland
• To provide a health intelligence and knowledge transfer hub for service users , health care providers and policy makers through annual evaluation cycles

This is a joint initiative set up in late 2016 by three key partners: Healthcare Improvement Scotland, the British Geriatrics Society Scotland Council, and the University of Aberdeen as the lead Academic Institution with representatives from other Scottish Universities with Clinical Academic Departments in Geriatric Medicine.
