Our care homes are supporting people to be timely discharged from hospital

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) is taking part in a Scottish Government pilot to reduce the number of people who are waiting to move from hospital wards to more appropriate settings.

Local Area Coordination Football Tournament

Before COVID, Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership’s Local Area Coordination (LAC) Learning Disability ran fun-filled five-a-side football tournaments twice a year, in partnership with Glasgow Life, at the Nethercraigs facility.
