In NHS Grampian we welcome the Chief Medical Officer's paper which can be found at: Realistic Medicine: Taking Care - Chief Medical Officer for Scotland Annual Report 2023–2024 (www.gov.scot). This programme of works also ties in with NHS Grampian's "Plan for the Future" (2022-2028) which aims to make healthcare more accessible, sustainable, and tailored to the needs of the population by focusing on people, places, and pathways. More information on that and the annual delivery plan can be found at: www.nhsgrampian.org/about-us/planforthefuture/.

Embedding a Realistic Medicine approach into the way in which we deliver care is taking us back to the core of why we entered the caring profession, reminding us that we are much more than just systems and processes. We are people responding to people.
