The question
To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to enhance the education and training of healthcare professionals on hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD).
The answer
Scotland’s Action Plan for Rare Diseases (2022) and Progress Report (August 2024) note awareness raising among healthcare professionals as the most important of our priorities, including making educational and training materials available for rare conditions. Work is underway with NHS Education for Scotland to develop the first of these, for all rare conditions, which will be video based. We will continue to explore opportunities to develop or signpost further learning resources.
