MiP in Scotland
MiP represents staff working in the NHS in Scotland as well as staff from health charities, private health providers, and organisations commissioned by local authorities to provide social care services.
Supporting members in Scotland
In Scotland, MiP’s members include managers working for the 14 regional health boards and the eight special health boards.
Under Scotland’s NHS structure, the 14 health boards manage and deliver services directly – including primary care, acute hospitals and mental healthcare. The special health boards operate across the country, offering services including specialist medical care, ambulances, health education and policy development. MiP serves all the eligible employees of these organisations, including senior executives and clinicians, service managers, specialist professionals, strategists and programme managers.
Our NHS members in Scotland are entitled to vote in pay consultations and ballots from UNISON ensuring their voice is heard in collective negotiations with employers and the Scottish government.
Outside the NHS, MiP also serves the Scotland-based staff of health charities and private health providers, plus organisations commissioned by local authorities to provide social care services.
Note that we cover NHS employees seconded into the Scottish Government – but not Scottish Government civil servants, who are represented by our parent union the FDA.
