Recovery and rehabilitation during and after the COVID-19 pandemic: framework for supporting people

8. Vision

Everyone with rehabilitation needs associated with COVID-19 will be able to access the care and support they need to live well, on their own terms.

This Rehabilitation Framework is aligned to Re-mobilise, Recover, Re-design: the framework for NHS Scotland^[3] (Figure 2), which sets out how NHS Boards and Integration Authorities will safely and incrementally prioritise the resumption of some paused services, while maintaining coronavirus (COVID-19) capacity and resilience.

This approach supports Scotland’s National Performance Framework^[4] and its clear vision for Scotland with broad measures of national wellbeing covering a range of economic, health, social and environmental indicators and targets.
