Huge congratulations to our Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) staff and services who were honoured at this year’s Glasgow Times Community Champions Awards 2021 on 1 December.

As part of COP26, an awareness raising art installation highlighting the impact of air pollution on health was hosted on the campus of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s (NHSGGC) Gartnavel Hospitals.

Huge congratulations to Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership’s (HSCP) Homeless Health and Asylum Service (now called Complex Needs and Asylum Health Services) who were announced as the winner of the People's Choice Award at the Scottish Health Awards 2021 on Thursday, 4 November.

Looking after our mental health is important every day of the year, but World Mental Health Day provides us with the opportunity to pause and reflect on the mental health of ourselves and those around us.

Now that Autumn is here and winter approaches, the Growing Spaces in the garden at Gartnavel Royal Hospital have started to take on new colours and shapes. Seed heads and falling leaves carpet the walkways and yet the Sunflowers still offer a striking reminder of the summer now gone.

Following the roaring success of Meander 2019, Leverndale’s Design in the Dale Group was disappointed that they had to postpone last year’s event due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, but Meander for Mental Health was back this month for 2021! 

The beginning of September saw the Compassionate Distress Response Service (CDRS), a support service for adults experiencing emotional distress, celebrate the first anniversary of its daytime support service.

Funding is now available to support statutory and voluntary organisations to provide programmes seeking to reduce stigma and discrimination towards people with poor mental health.
