The Scottish Clinical Imaging Network (SCIN) is a managed diagnostic networks in Scotland which was commissioned in 2014, following on from the work of the Managed Diagnostic Imaging Clinical Network (MDICN), as part of NHS Scotland National Managed Network Service (NMNS).
SCIN is composed of different groups of professionals, employed within imaging in Scotland, who are interested in working together to progress quality issues within their specialty. The network involves radiologists, radiographers and imaging managers. It was established to work across board boundaries, acting as a conduit between the service and Scottish Government or central projects. A large part of the work of SCIN involves driving up quality and effectiveness across Scotland by sharing good practice.
There is a core team of staff: A Lead Clinician and a National Imaging Manager (Radiographers) both of whom are seconded for two sessions a week to SCIN. These clinicians are ably supported by a Programme Manager and a Programme Support Officer who are employed by the National Network Management Service. This core team focus on progressing the activities of SCIN.
