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.

A new service to support parents and carers of young people experiencing emotional distress is being piloted in Glasgow until 31 March 2022. 

A community garden, which was established as part of Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership’s (HSCP) Shields Health and Care Centre, has been a sanctuary to people struggling with their mental health, isolation or loneliness.

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.

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! 

Plans for a new £67 million health and care hub for the North East of Glasgow have moved a step closer after councillors approved plans.
