How do I request paternity leave?

Paternity leave entitlements are defined in the NHS Scotland New Parent Support Policy.

You should discuss your requirements for paternity leave with your supervisor in the placement Board/ General Practice.

The Paternity Leave Application Form and the required accompanying paperwork as detailed in the form should be completed by employee and authorised by manager / supervisor to request paternity leave and returned to NES HR by raising a support ticket at https://nesdigital.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/30.
