Our mental health nursing staff honoured at national awards

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership’s (HSCP) hosts NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s Mental Health Board-Wide Services, and we’re celebrating our mental health nursing staff who were successful at the Mental Health Nursing Forum Scotland Awards held on 6 October.

The Awards recognise the significant contribution that nurses make to the modernisation of Mental Health services across Scotland, increasingly in the context of the integration of health and social care. 

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.

Maximising Independence projects – supporting people and communities

As the maximising independence approach continues to become our ‘business as usual’ way of doing things across the HSCP, it’s helping us to achieve a fair and easier way for people to access support and prioritise what’s most important to them. Two particular maximising independence projects are already having an impact.

Share your views on our HSCP’s Locality Plans

Draft Locality Plans from 2024 to 2025 for Glasgow City HSCP’s (HSCP) North East, North West and South Localities were recently approved by our Integration Joint Board (IJB), and they can be viewed on our HSCP’s website.

We’ll now be undertaking targeted stakeholder engagement on the plans in the coming months before publishing final versions. Feedback gathered during the engagement will be used to inform the content and format of Locality Plans for 2025 to 2026.
