    Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland Report on unannounced visit to: Stobhill Hospital, Isla Ward 133 Balornock Road, Glasgow, G21 3UW Date of visit: 4 August 2016 SVchanges Where we visited Isla ward is a 20-bed mixed-sex ward providing assessment and treatment for older adults with a functional mental illness. We last visited this service on 9 December 2014 as part of a national themed visit. As such we did not make specific recommendations, but did make comment in our feedback letter on: • Difficulties in providing activities on a consistent basis • The generic nature of care plans, particularly in relation to mental health care and the quality of evaluations On the day of this visit we wanted to follow up on these issues and also look at the use of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (the 2003 Act). This is because of our statutory role. Who we met with We met with and reviewed the care and treatment of 11 patients. We spoke with the senior charge nurse. Commission visitors Mary Hattie, Nursing Officer Alison Goodwin, Social Work Officer Kathleen Taylor, Engagement and Participation Officer (Carer) What people told us and what we found Care, treatment, support and participation Multidisciplinary input The ward is served by four consultants. Out-of-hours medical cover is provided by the on-call duty doctor. There is dedicated occupational therapy and pharmacy provision. Physiotherapy, psychology, speech and language therapy, dietetics and podiatry are all available on referral. Care plans The level of detail and personalisation of care plans varied, with a small number having a good level of detail and person-centred information and others having very little personalisation and not covering all of the patients care needs.

    Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland Report on unannounced visit to: Tate Ward, Gartnavel Royal Hospital, 1055 Great Western Road, Glasgow G12 0XH Date of visit: 10 July 2018 Where we visited Tate Ward is a 20-bedded, mixed-sex adult acute mental health ward in Gartnavel Royal Hospital. In March of this year Broadford Ward, formerly located in Mackinnon House, Stobhill Hospital, moved into this refurbished ward. We last visited this service on 4 July 2017 and made recommendations about the lack of evening and weekend activities and the physical environment. On the day of this visit, we wanted to follow up on the previous recommendations and look at care planning and patients’ involvement in their care. Who we met with We met with and/or reviewed the care and treatment of eight patients. We were unable to meet with family members or carers at this unannounced visit. We spoke with the senior charge nurse (SCN) and other members of the clinical team. Commission visitors Mary Leroy, Nursing Officer and visit coordinator Mary Hattie, Nursing Officer Ritchie Scott, Medical Officer What people told us and what we found Care, treatment, support and participation On the day of our visit we were able to meet with eight patients. They told us that staff were supportive and approachable. One of the patients spoke of the benefits of having access to psychology. We discussed with the SCN recent changes regarding an increase in psychology input to the ward. The psychologist receives referrals through the multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting. This input will be of benefit to the patients who present with complex care needs.

  • Our Letter to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
    National Office, Delta House, 50 West Nile Street, Glasgow, G1 2NP t: 0141 241 6308 f: 0141 221 2529 textphone: 0141 241 6316 Ms Catriona Renfrew Director of Planning and Policy NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde JB Russell House Gartnavel Royal Hospital Campus 08 December 2016 Glasgow G12 0XH Dear Catriona NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde – Changes to North East Glasgow Rehabilitation Services We refer to the proposal by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to reshape the delivery of rehabilitation services for older people in North East Glasgow. This would result in the transfer of inpatient services from Lightburn Hospital to Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Stobhill Hospital, and to local care home and community facilities in North East Glasgow. It is also proposed that the day hospital would transfer from Lightburn Hospital to form a combined service at Stobhill Hospital and outpatient clinics would move to Glasgow Royal Infirmary or Stobhill Hospital. We are advised that a number of local locations have been scoped for the Parkinson’s Support Group meeting and have been offered to patients and the group for consideration. Lightburn Hospital would close as a consequence of these proposed changes. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde consulted on proposed change to services at Lightburn Hospital in 2010. At the time, the proposal (to transfer inpatient services to Stobhill Hospital) was considered a major service change. The proposal was not approved by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing, who also gave recommendations for moving forward. We understand that the current proposal is different to that consulted on in 2010, but still entails the closure of Lightburn Hospital.

  • Information and Guidance on Visiting Hospitals for Faith and Belief Community
    Information and Guidance on Visiting Hospitals for Faith and Belief Community Representatives This leaflet has been prepared by the NHSGG&C Healthcare Chaplaincy Service in response to requests for information and guidance to assist representatives of faith communties when they are visiting members of their community who are in hospital. It is intended for use by those who are visiting patients in the course of their professional duties as representatives of a faith community (for example, Church of Scotland Parish Ministers, Rabbis, Imams.) For purposes of clarification, the phrase ‘faith community’ ought to be read as including churches, congregations, faith and belief groups. Spiritual and Religious Care is regarded by NHSGG&C as an intrinsic part of the holistic care provided to patients, and to those who care for them. To this end the NHSGG&C Chaplaincy Service delivers spiritual and religious care to all people, regardless of faith and belief. Healthcare Chaplains work with other NHS staff to ensure that these needs are met. Local faith community leaders have an important role to play in ensuring that patients who belong to their community have their particular religious needs met. Spiritual care addresses the fundamental human need to have a sense of peace, security and hope particularly in the context of injury, illness or loss and religious care can be a crucial aspect of this. 1 Patient Confidentiality The fact that a person is a patient in hospital is a confidential matter and must not be shared with another person without the consent of the patient. To this end, a Chaplain (or any other member of NHS staff) cannot confirm that a person is in hospital without their permission.
