Fiona Duff Senior Primary Care Advisor Primary Care Division Scottish Government
So while the dust settles and we look around at the New Normal let us not go back to what we did before. Let us embrace new ways of working and talk to our colleagues about how we do it together. Let us do the right thing for our population. A crisis can create an opportunity to learn and build a better way forward. The system that will emerge on the other side of the crisis is shaped by those leaders who are able to harness the potential in the moment and galvanise others to act. John Sturrock 2019
