Update on Safer Drug Consumption Facility

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) is working with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) and other partners to develop a pilot Safer Drug Consumption Facility (SDCF). The service, which will be the first of its kind in the UK, will open later this year. We aim to reduce the harms associated with injecting drugs, and support people to access help to improve their lives and to reduce the negative impact that injecting outdoors has on local residents, communities and businesses.

Mental health support for young people aged 10 to 26 years in Glasgow

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) funds mental health provision that is quickly and easily accessible to a range of young people dependent on their needs. Our online services Kooth and Togetherall have now been renewed until March 2025.

Both services are evidence-based, clinically moderated, 24/7 online peer to peer mental health communities, commissioned by the HSCP and freely available to young people with a Glasgow postcode.

Restart - Supporting people with severe and enduring mental health conditions

Restart is an NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) mental health project that works with Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership’s (HSCP) Community Mental Health Teams.

The project offers recovery-based support for people living with severe and enduring mental health conditions. Trainees are given the opportunity to take part in various vocational training activities to increase self-belief and build resilience. The programme helps around 250 people each year.

SDCF - Engagement

In September 2023 Glasgow City Integration Joint Board (IJB) approved a plan to implement a Safer Drug Consumption Facility in Hunter Street Health and Social Care centre.

Safer drug consumption facilities (SDCFs) are clean, hygienic environments where people can consume drugs, obtained elsewhere, under the supervision of trained health and social care professionals, reducing the risk of overdose and infectious diseases whilst offering support and access to healthcare and social care services.

Meet Glasgow City HSCP

On 20 June Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP)’s Social Care Commissioning Team, supported by the Supplier Development Programme, hosted an online event called ‘Meet Glasgow City HSCP’.

Local help to quit smoking

Help to quit smoking is free and available locally from Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) staff and community pharmacies.

Our HSCP’s Quit Your Way community services offer specialist holistic support to help people stop smoking. Our staff focus on reducing health inequality and smoking prevalence in some of Glasgow City’s most deprived areas.
