Evaluation Summer School
NHS Health Scotland's Evaluation Summer School is a world-class event for scholars and practitioners in evaluation.
Since 2006, the Evaluation Summer School has provided a unique opportunity for those working nationally, locally and across all sectors, to consider the implications of evaluation in their practice.
NHS Health Scotland has been involved in funding it from its early days, and since 2008 it has been involved in its organisation.
Aims
The Evaluation Summer School aims to:
- build understanding of recent developments in evaluation
- use expert opinion from here and abroad
- provide opportunities to debate innovation in evaluation
- encourage learning from across sectors
Audience
The Summer School brings together not just international and local experts, academics,and policy makers, but practitioners and evaluation users from across a wide variety of sectors including:
- local government
- the voluntary sector
- central government
- independent consultants
- the NHS
What's next?
There was no Summer School in 2011.
The time was used to review learning aims in order to best meet our audience needs. Presentations and materials from previous summer schools are still available.
In 2012, we are are still offering opportunities for CPD. See sidebar for details.
