We’re thrilled to welcome NHS Shetland to the RLDatix community as the latest healthcare organisation to select PolicyStat, our cloud-based policy management solution that transforms how health and care providers manage documents, policies and procedures.
Following a comprehensive market review, NHS Shetland selected PolicyStat for its unique ability to simplify document control without relying on Microsoft Word, which is a critical requirement due to the Trust’s unique operational environment.
Why NHS Shetland chose PolicyStat:
- ✔️ End-to-End Workflow Automation
PolicyStat goes beyond basic storage, offering a fully integrated workflow for policy creation, approval, publishing, and version control – all in one centralised platform.
- ✔️ Microsoft Word Independence
Unlike traditional systems, PolicyStat enables policy creation, editing, and approvals directly within the platform – eliminating the need for external tools like Word.
- ✔️ Smart Search & Secure Access
Advanced search functionality and role-based access ensure that the right stakeholders—internal or external – can find the right documents at the right time.
- ✔️ Scalable & Configurable to NHS Needs
Whether managing local guidelines or aligning with national policy, PolicyStat adapts to NHS Shetland’s structure, offering the flexibility and scalability to support complex governance models.
- ✔️ Compliance-Ready & Audit Friendly
Following recent audits that exposed gaps in consistency and accessibility, PolicyStat delivers the governance tools needed to strengthen compliance and improve oversight.
Supporting better care through better policy management.
For NHS Shetland, policy management is no longer just an administrative task, it’s a critical enabler of safer care, consistent communication, and organisational readiness. PolicyStat empowers their teams to manage documents confidently across roles and locations, while improving transparency and accessibility for external stakeholders.
With features like automated templates and version control, role-based access, staff training, and ongoing support, we’re proud to support NHS Shetland as they modernise policy management and create a system that’s as agile as the care they deliver.

Kirsty Edwards, Accounts Director at RLDatix, commented:
“It’s been fantastic to work with NHS Shetland on this next step in their digital transformation. They’ve been really clear on what they need from a policy management solution, something secure, user-friendly, and flexible enough to support both local and national policy requirements. PolicyStat ticks all those boxes and more. I’m really looking forward to supporting them as they embed the system and start to see the real impact it can have on consistency, accessibility, and governance across their organisation.”
