Smoke-Free Message Is Taken All Over Ayrshire Media information For immediate use Smoke-free message is taken all over Ayrshire All grounds throughout NHS Ayrshire & Arran are now smoke-free. That’s the message that staff, visitors and patients turned out in force to support on Monday 30 March. People from all over Ayrshire joined NHS staff at launch events to welcome the move to smoke-free grounds. Dr Carol Davidson, Director of Public Health, took the lead in launching the new policy when she toured Ayrshire’s hospitals. Ayrshire and Arran NHS Board joined with Carol in celebrating the move to smoke-free grounds before she set off to visit hospitals in Ayr, Cumnock and Kilmarnock. Staff, visitors and patients greeted Dr Davidson at University Hospital Ayr where new flowers have been planted to celebrate the new cleaner hospital grounds. Cumnock Academy pupils joined with Dr Davidson at East Ayrshire Community Hospital in appealing for people to wait until they are off NHS grounds before smoking. At University Hospital Crosshouse, more than 20 people had the opportunity to speak with Dr Davidson about the move to smoke-free grounds. They saw first-hand the new smoke- free grounds signage on display throughout the hospital. Elaine Young, Assistant Director for Public Health, took the message with her when she visited Girvan Community Hospital. And Biggart Hospital staff enthusiastically welcomed the move to smoke-free grounds. Media information For immediate use Finally, Partnership Facilitator, Stewart Donnelly, visited North Ayrshire when he helped launch the new policy at the Douglas Grant Rehabilitation Centre at Ayrshire Central Hospital in Irvine. This ambitious move to achieve smoke-free status in the grounds of every hospital, health centre and NHS building across the country is part of a national drive to create a tobacco free generation within Scotland by 2034. Dr Carol Davidson, Director of Public Health, said: “I would like to thank everyone who came along and supported the launch of our smoke-free grounds. “The drive to make our NHS grounds smoke-free is a vital step in helping us achieve a smoke-free generation within the next 20 years. “Essentially we are asking smokers to wait until they are off our grounds before lighting up. We are on hand to give support and advise on how to manage their smoking, including quitting. This is available to everyone by telephoning our Fresh Air-shire smoking cessation and prevention service on 0800 783 9132.” Dr Davidson continued: “Our commitment to going smoke-free extends to all our premises, hospitals, health centres and other community facilities, together with NHS offices and other non-patient buildings. “NHS Ayrshire & Arran has a duty of care to protect the health of, and promote health behaviours among, people who use or work in our services. This is why we are determined to make our premises and grounds smoke-free.” Ends Vox pop – Why do you support smoke-free grounds on NHS Ayrshire & Arran?

  • Integration Joint Board 13Th September 2018 Mental Welfare Commission Themed Visit to People with Dementia in Community Hospital
    Integration Joint Board 13th September 2018 Subject: Mental Welfare Commission Themed Visit to people with dementia in Community Hospitals Purpose: To provide an update as to the feedback from the Mental Welfare Commission (MWC) on their announced inspection visits to people with dementia in community hospitals, highlighting areas of good practice noted and recommendations made for areas of required improvement. Recommendation: Integrated Joint Board (IJB) members to please note the content of the report and consider the implementation of the supporting action plan which has been developed in response to the recommendations of the above noted report. Glossary of Terms AWI Adults with Incapacity IJB Integration Joint Board HSCP Health & Social Care Partnership MWC Mental Welfare Commission NHSAA NHS Ayrshire & Arran 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 In May 2018 the MWC for Scotland published the “Visiting and monitoring report: Themed Visit to people with dementia in community hospitals” (Appendix 1). The report provides a picture of the experience of patients and carers in community hospitals across Scotland and contains twelve recommendations for IJB’s around improving the care provided within community hospitals, whilst also highlighting areas of good practice. 1.2 Community Hospital Ward Environments: Although ward environments visited were generally found to be clean and in good decorative order, the findings of the report were that more work could be done to make environments more dementia friendly. Furthermore, although there was a strong focus on physical rehabilitation within ward environments, the overall picture was of very limited meaningful and stimulating activity for people with dementia. Wards areas that had access to specialist dementia services and/or a dementia champion were found to display clear benefits in terms of supporting the development of good practice in dementia care.

  • Redirecting to East Ayrshire Council
    EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL CABINET REPORT – 3RD OCTOBER 2007 ADDITIONAL STREETSPORT CAGES Report by Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 To request that the Cabinet approve the installation of two new StreetSport Cages in Crosshouse and Newmilns, and agree the proposed site for the similar facility in Darvel subject to the satisfactory outcome of consultation exercises. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Following the success of existing Multi-use Games Areas in Shortlees and North West Kilmarnock, Leisure Services have worked in partnership with East Ayrshire Sports Council to develop a network of these facilities across East Ayrshire. These new facilities now known as StreetSport Cages, compliment and extend the range of play facilities being made available through the Council’s Playpark Improvement Programme. 2.2 Further to Committee approval at Community Services Committee on 8th November 2006, a network of facilities was developed via a range of external and internal funding allocations. The development and subsequent installation of this network demonstrated East Ayrshire’s forward thinking approach to the development of Community Sport and its commitment to providing young people with positive alternatives to Youth Crime. This was highlighted nationally with the Council being featured on BBC Radio Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland Show and on BBC TV’s Reporting Scotland. 2.3 A subsequent report to Community Services Committee on 31st January 2007 approved the allocation of an additional StreetSport Cage to Darvel. Final implementation, however, was to be subject to a community consultation process. 2.4 The original proposal for the Darvel StreetSport Cage was to site it within the boundaries of Morton Park as the majority of youth disorder complaints being received from Darvel focused on this area.

  • NHS Ayrshire and Arran Redesign of Urgent Care Pathfinder Programme
    NHS Ayrshire and Arran Redesign of Urgent Care Pathfinder Programme Rapid External Review 29 November 2020 NHS Ayrshire and Arran: Redesign of Urgent Care Pathfinder Programme Rapid External Review Purpose To provide a rapid external review (the Review) of the implementation of the Redesign of the NHS Ayrshire and Arran (A&A) Urgent Care Programme Pathfinder site to inform decisions on the national roll-out, anticipated start date: 1 December 2020. The key focus of the Review has been on monitoring preliminary issues and impacts of this transformational redesign across all care sectors within NHS A&A, which seeks to help inform and advise on early learning to be shared throughout Scotland. Background The Redesign of Urgent Care (RUC) programme seeks to promote significant transformational change in how optimal urgent care can be delivered for the people of Scotland. The programme offers a number of potential benefits in modernising our wider urgent care (unscheduled care) pathways, but also carries implementation risks, which need to be recognised, addressed and mitigated. It is acknowledged that not all Boards were in the same state of readiness as NHS A&A to undertake urgent care reform. Initial issues reported and considered by the Redesign of Urgent Care Strategic Advisory Board (chaired by Calum Campbell, Chief Executive NHS Lothian and Angiolina Foster, Chief Executive NHS 24), include: sustainability of local GP Out of Hours (OOH) services, Covid-19 hubs and clinical assessment centres (CACs). The potential longer-term impact of changing public access and use of urgent care services within in-hours periods may impact on increased service demand for NHS 24.
