Alexa is improving wellbeing for residents of our HSCP’s care homes
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)’s Older People Residential Services has been taking part in an exciting and innovative trial, using specially designed Alexa devices and digital connection boxes.
The trial is part of the Connected Care and Wellbeing Project, a Glasgow City Region programme, funded by the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology to look at harnessing digital technology in care services.

Partnership Matters - January/February 2025
In our first edition of 2025 the Partnership Matters Briefing starts off with an update on the UK’s first drug consumption facility, The Thistle, which opened on the 13 January. Also, the new Parkhead Hub opened on a phased return, read all about how that is going in our newsletter. Watch a great video all about one of our HSCP’s innovative services, Martha’s Mammies, that provides support to birth mothers who have lost care of their children.
Your future in your hands with Power of Attorney
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is calling on the public to organise Power of Attorney (POA) for welfare matters.
Statistics show that around a third of patients are delayed in their discharge from hospital because they don’t have one in place. That means more time in hospital and away from home comforts.
Currently, over 100 people are delayed within NHSGGC due to a lack of a POA. This is roughly equivalent to four acute inpatient wards. If this wasn’t required, staff could be assigned to other areas of the healthcare system and help people who need care today.
The Thistle exceeds expectation as latest figures provided
Scotland’s first safer drug consumption facility – The Thistle – has seen 143 individuals make use of the facility 1067 times since opening on Monday 13 January.
In its first seven weeks of opening, The Thistle has been used 1067 times by 143 individuals (Monday 13 January up to close of play Sunday 2 March).
Nursing staff within the Using Space have supervised more than 700 injecting episodes, with people injecting cocaine, heroin or both.
