  • Making Connections
    Making connections Evaluation Report on the Suttie Arts Space 2014 -2016 Basia McDougall BH McDougall CPsychol. AFBPSs, FHEA MPhil. MSc. Occ. Psych. BSc.(Hons) Chartered Psychologist Independent Research Evaluator Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge the help and co-operation of all those who took the time to meet with me or discuss with me, by telephone or e-mail, issues relevant to this evaluation. Their honest thoughts, comments and pointers to contacts and further sources of information have been invaluable in shaping the content of this report. Thank you to: The Paul Hamlyn Foundation, who provided funding for this evaluation project (July 2016) Creative Scotland and Aberdeen City Council who supported the programme of commissioned exhibitions PAGE 2 Executive Summary Introduction GHAT commissioned an evaluation study of The Suttie Arts Space and requested that stories of venue use should form the central focus of the evaluation. The evaluation plan assumed three areas of broad interest: a. venue use b. perceptions of venue and c. perceptions of art exhibited within the venue. Method The primary research tool was the narrative interview. Twelve participants were self-selected and represented three groups: stakeholders, artists and visitors (inpatient and outpatient). In-depth narrative interviews were conducted, transcribed and analysed. Additional sources of evidence, gathered over the 10 months, supplemented the findings of interviews. These sources included over 250 invigilator entries and visitor comment sheets. In addition, email correspondence took place with those who chose not to be interviewed but wanted to share their views. Finally, attendance at monthly GHAT meetings, alongside regular visits by the researcher to The Suttie Arts Space, ensured context for the findings.

  • COVID-19 Staff Brief
    can Here is the brief for Wednesday 16 December 2020. COVID-19 vaccine update • If you have applied online or through the phone booking number, please be reassured that you will be on the waiting list for an appointment. Over 6,000 staff across Grampian have already applied for the vaccine. Organising these clinics to match with vaccine supply and vaccinators is extremely challenging. The clinics in ARI & the 3 H&SCPs are now up and running. If you have not heard from the booking team, please don't worry - we will get to you. Many areas are also running Peer-Peer sessions, over 600 vaccinations were given to staff yesterday, an amazing achievement! Thank you for your patience. • If you are at all unwell, please do not attend work, even if you have a vaccine appointment scheduled. Peer and clinic vaccinators have the authorisation to make a clinical judgement and will not immunise staff members if they are unfit to receive the jab. Please respect this decision. In the event of anyone becoming unwell immediately after receiving their immunisation, staff should contact 2222 and follow the usual process. Extension of asymptomatic staff testing As highlighted in Monday’s brief, we will shortly be extending the asymptomatic staff testing programme, using Lateral Flow Devices. This will be rolled out in a phased manner, as follows: • Patient facing staff who are already receiving PCR tests (oncology, Medicine for the Elderly long stay, MH&LD long stay). NOTE this will NOT replace the PCR test but is in addition to it. • Out-patient patient facing staff • Dr Gray’s Hospital patient facing staff Over the next few days we will advise patient facing staff (in the above groups) how to pre-populate their details on a web-form.
