New artwork celebrates staff and their resilience in our HSCP’s care homes

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) operates five residential care homes for older people across the city, all of which were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

As restrictions began to be relaxed, and the care homes moved to a position of recovery, it was important to reflect our staff’s experiences and express this through art. This artwork could serve as both a memorial and be a testament to our staff’s resilience to keep residents and colleagues supported during the pandemic and the challenges that it brought.
