Welcome to the Leading Excellence in Care (LEiC) Education and Development Framework
The aim of the LEiC Education and Development Framework is to support the implementation of Excellence in Care into practice by providing guidance for the education and development of nursing, midwifery and allied health professions (NMAHP) leaders.
Excellence in Care
Excellence in Care (EiC) is a national approach that aims to provide assurance of a consistent standard of safe, high quality, person-centred care for people, no matter where they receive treatment in Scotland.
EiC recognises the unique contribution that nurses, midwives and allied health professionals (NMAHPs) can make to establishing the culture and conditions to provide excellence in care every time people receive care.
The Excellence in Care Framework is based on the premise that to achieve 'excellence in care' all the elements with the framework are inter-dependent, evidence-based and of equal importance.
At its core are lessons from the Vale of Leven Hospital Inquiry, where families identified four key principles:
- person-centred care
- compassion
- fundamentals of care
- clear communication
These principles are the foundation of high-quality, safe, and person-centred care.
