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. 

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) has retained the UNICEF Baby Friendly - Achieving Sustainability (Gold) Award.

Congratulations to Elderpark Housing Association in Govan. They’ve recently signed up to the Breastfeeding Friendly Scotland Scheme. 

A pharmacist-led pain clinic in Govanhill Health Centre has won a national award for the ‘Addressing Overprescribing’ category and an overall Silver Award, as voted by the audience, at the PrescQIPP Annual Awards 2021. The winners were announced at an online award ceremony on 13 October.

Leanne Black, Advanced Prescribing Support Pharmacist won the poster prize at the recent Scottish Practice Pharmacist & Prescribing Advisers Association Conference, held virtually on 28 October 2020.

Over 1,200 new mothers have benefited from support from Glasgow Baby Cafės in the last five years, according to new figures from the National Childbirth Trust (NCT).

The Prescribing Support Team in Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (South Locality) won the Working in Partnership Award at the Scottish Pharmacist Awards 2019.

Increasing the number of mums who breastfeed their babies is a Scottish Government priority
to improve child health and reduce inequalities.
