Scottish Breastfeeding week ran from 9 to 15 June, and Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) staff were out and about promoting the benefits of breastfeeding and celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Breastfeeding (Scotland) Act 2005.  

Special Alexa devices have proved to be a hit with both residents and staff in Orchard Grove and Meadowburn Care Homes.

Glasgow City Health and Social Care partnership (HSCP) runs five residential care homes, providing 24-hour assistance to people who are no longer able to live independently at home. Our HSCP also runs day care services and care at home services.

This year, Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) raised awareness and shined a light on 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence. 

TASK Family Support and Learning Centre in the Gorbals area has become the first early years establishment to fully sign up to the Breastfeeding Friendly Early Years Scheme in Glasgow City. The nursery is part of a pilot for the scheme, operating in Glasgow South and North East localities.

Over 100 people attended Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership’s (HSCP) Provider Event on 19 June at Glasgow City Chambers. The event was aimed at providers of social care services, registered managers, HSCP senior management and HSCP commissioning staff.

Congratulations to Morrisons Anniesland for being awarded Breastfeeding Friendly Scotland accreditation in Glasgow.

Breastfeeding is important to the health of both mother and baby. While many new mums start breastfeeding, some stop within a few weeks or months. This is often because they feel there’s a lack of support, particularly when they want to feed their baby outside their home.
