Leanne Black has been appointed to the first Pharmacist Consultant Development Post in Scotland, focused on improving the care of people living with frailty.

All staff working in hospitals and care / residential homes are being urged to ‘Think Red Bag’ when preparing for a care / residential home resident to attend and return from hospital. 

Works to improve six of Glasgow’s community health and care centres are being rolled-out, with a focus on improving consultation and clinical areas as well as improvements to office and admin spaces.

The ALLIANCE and Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) will be working with artist Xuechang Leng to commemorate experiences of COVID-19 in care homes.

Work on a new £72 million health and care centre for the north east of Glasgow will begin in spring, after the Scottish Government gave final approval for the ambitious project.

Our HSCP’s Maximising Independence approach with partners aims to deliver the largest change in health and social care in Glasgow in a generation. That’s a huge move. It’s complex and complicated, and it’s especially challenging to tackle such a major change during a global health pandemic.

One of the first major responses to the COVID-19 pandemic has also proven to be one of the most effective, providing vital frontline support for thousands of patients, and protecting the health service from being overwhelmed by the virus.
