Glasgow City HSCP Home Care wins Top Team award at Scottish Health Awards 2025

Huge congratulations to our Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) Home Care Team who won the Top Team Award at the Scottish Health Awards 2025 on Thursday 6 November.

The Scottish Health Awards celebrates the extraordinary achievements of those individuals and teams who go above and beyond to deliver compassionate, high-quality health and social care to the people of Scotland.

They recognise the contribution of frontline health and social care workers but also celebrate those who work so hard behind the scenes in support roles to ensure we have the kind of health and care services that are vital in achieving the highest quality of care.

The Home Care Team was nominated by the family of a late service user. His family wanted to highlight the amazing, person-centred care and support he received from his dedicated Home Care Team.

A family member said: “These women who worked with my Dad on a daily basis offered compassionate care on levels I’ve never known. The staff here came in and out of my Dad’s home and made him feel an equal partner in his care.

“The best example of this care I can give, and the reason that I wanted to nominate the team, is the support that they gave my Dad to get up and out of bed and into a brand new suit, tie and shoes (which he hadn’t worn for well over a year due to his ongoing disability) to come to my wedding in October 2024 - my Dad passed away in February 2025. I have eternal gratitude for each and every one of these women, who’s west of Scotland banter and ways were an absolute shining light in my Dad's world when it continued to get smaller as he became more disabled.

“I thank them for every single piece of themselves that they gave to him as one human being to another.”

Robert Murray, our HSCP’s Interim Head of Care Services attended the ceremony with staff members. He said: “I was humbled to read the team’s nomination. I’m immensely proud to be leading a team that clearly makes a difference to both service users and families every day.

“On the night of the awards there was 10 of us representing 2,500 staff who are out there every single day providing care and support. We’re absolutely delighted to get recognition of the day-to-day work that we do, and it’s really a thank you for our carers that go out whatever the weather, so I’m delighted to accept this on their behalf. Well done to all.”

Gordon Bryan, Lead Head of Service for Operational and Technical Care Services and Older People’s Residential and Day Care said: “I’m incredibly proud of our Home Care Team. This award reflects the compassion, dignity and dedication they bring to their work every day. Their care goes far beyond the daily support and routine that they’re asked to provide, it touches lives in the most meaningful ways. A truly well-deserved recognition.”
