The Chief Scientist Office (CSO) is an integral part of the Scottish Government's Health and Social Care directorate. Its primary responsibility is to guide health research, innovation, and progress in Scotland. The CSO takes a lead role in bringing together NHS Scotland Boards to function collectively in an effort to make Scotland a hub for health research, development, and innovation. Additionally, the CSO works in partnership with academia and the life sciences sector to ensure the growth and prosperity of Scotland's life sciences industry.
