Promoting cycling for all at Leverndale Hospital

When it comes to active and sustainable travel, our staff at Leverndale Hospital, Glasgow have got on their bikes and made things happen – for the benefit of patients and the nearby community.

Staff have been working with patients over the past couple of years through its Pedal 4 Progress initiative, to get them active and help them enjoy the benefits to physical and mental health of cycling.

Creating Circles of Support

We probably all know families who have their own roles in caring for a loved one, whether they’re the one who takes a parent to the shops, makes the dinners, gives a lift to appointments or just drops in for a cup of tea and a chat.  

Not everyone is fortunate enough to have such family support around them. So a new pilot project, based on the successful ‘Family Group Decision Making’ approach with children and young people, is being launched in Glasgow to replicate elements of the family support circle.

Our Telecare Service is going digital!

Telecommunications providers across the UK, such as BT, Virgin Media, Sky and Talk Talk are replacing analogue phone lines with digital equivalents with analogue phone lines being switched off by January 2027.

This shift means that phone services will be delivered in the same way as internet connections and will affect the delivery of telecare services across Scotland.
