Supporting breastfeeding in Glasgow
Scottish Breastfeeding week ran from 9 to 15 June, and Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) staff were out and about promoting the benefits of breastfeeding and celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Breastfeeding (Scotland) Act 2005.
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.
Celebrating International Nurses Day 2025
On 12 May, Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) proudly celebrated International Nurses Day — a global occasion recognising the compassion, commitment, and vital contributions of nurses to society.
Established by the International Council of Nurses in 1974, the day highlights the essential role of nurses in health and social care systems worldwide.
New national campaign encourages people to consider fostering
A nationwide recruitment campaign to help find more foster carers has been launched, and people across Glasgow are being encouraged to consider if they could provide a safe, supportive foster home for a child or young person.
The Scottish Government campaign aims to support the recruitment of more local authority foster carers. It hopes to raise awareness of the benefits of fostering and encourage more people to consider if they could support a child or young person in the care system.
