COVID-19 HSCP Update

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) is a partnership between Glasgow City Council and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGG&C) for the planning and delivery of community health and social care services in Glasgow.

On this webpage you will find updates on the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on our health and social care services that we are responsible for. It also includes some relevant national guidance and links to further local and national information and advice websites.

What are we doing?

We are currently working closely with Glasgow City Council and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to monitor and respond to the situation for Coronavirus (COVID-19), and we have also established our own Operational Recovery Group. It meets regularly to manage the impact of Coronavirus on our health and social care services and focuses on recovery planning to ensure a more planned and co-ordinated approach to restoring services. It includes our most senior managers across the HSCP, liaising and working in partnership with staff Trade Unions and NHS Staff Side. While we are working on a planned approach to deliver key essential services, we are committed to complying with national guidance and delivering services that are as safe as possible for our patients, service users, carers, communities and staff.
