There is a population of around 418750 K. Four out of five people live in the areas of Paisley and Renfrew, Greenock and Port Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh and other towns. The remaining population live in remote and rural communities, including 26 inhabited islands of which only three (Islay, Mull and Bute) have populations over 1000. Primary Care Direct Access to Physiotherapy – available at four Health Centres in Renfrewshire. [email protected] Podiatry clinics that have been set up to ease access for patients are varied including: Drop­in, direct access, emergency and nail care. A social nail care programme to be piloted in the north will have MSK input. sharon.lafferty@renver­pct.scot.nhs.uk Podiatry Biomechanical Service. Patients can self refer or may be referred by their GP, Consultant or other healthcare professional to this community based service. Alan.Best@renver­pct.scot.nhs.uk Joint working with orthotist, physio and podiatry. Biomechanic (0.5wte) based at Dumbarton [email protected] Acute care Royal Alexandra Hospital Musculoskeletal physiotherapy services [email protected] • Direct Access (self­referral), Hydrotherapy, • A Hand Clinic • Accident Emergency / Fracture Clinic, with a Senior I input who does injection therapy • Acute Low Back Pain Clinic (service has links with Diagnostic/Imaging dept, orthopaedics,Neurosurgeon and pain clinic) • Physio/Nurse led joint replacement review clinics – pilot study for 1 year • Extended Scope Physiotherapy sessions for orthopaedic knee and hand referrals • Audits have demonstrated that a trained ESP can independently manage appropriately vetted orthopaedic referrals. Podiatry Consultants and Specialist Nursing Staff may refer to the Specialist Podiatrist within acute sector for multi­disciplinary working with Orthopaedist and onward referral to community based Podiatry Biomechanical Service. 3 WORK IN PROGRESS NHS Argyll & Clyde AHP activities in Scottish MSK services Occupational therapy Staff are involved in • The Multi Agency Team for Care at Home (MATCH) team in assessments within A&E and facilitating supported discharges to prevent avoidable admission. • Pre­admission elective surgery clinics – assessments for patients awaiting elective admission for joint replacement. • Following assessment by the Occupational Therapist the Technical Instructor continues the rehabilitation process at home and therefore manage their own caseload with supervision. Vale of Leven Hospital Joint replacement surgery Patients are contacted by the Occupational Therapist as soon as their name is put on the waiting list for joint replacement. OT intervention/Home Visit offered. This allows access to the service prior to the pre­surgery assessment clinic. Inverclyde Royal Hospital, Greenock Physiotherapy. Very much part of the local community, with clear patient information leaflets. Physiotherapy outpatient services are based around the acute hospital and three peripheral health centres and one other small clinic. Weekly meetings allow staff to jointly manage referrals across the patch. Jenny.irons@ Orthopaedic sessions – There are three ESP sessions (clinics) per month: two spinal and one knee. The consultant currently triages the waiting list and allocates the referrals to ESP or consultant. Due to staffing constraints this has been found to be more time efficient than the previously tried ESP physiotherapy triage; access to diagnostics still has to be established. A domiciliary and orthopaedic team with a falls project in its infancy. Other services Multi­disciplinary Health Education Groups for Rheumatoid and Osteo­ arthritic patients delivered by Alan.Best@renver­pct.scot.nhs.uk Rheumatology services within the medical team with nurse lead clinics offering injections. The physiotherapist works closely with these clinics. An interactive exercise scheme co­ordinated by the council in Greenock: which any health professional can refer into. Patients take the referral to the leisure centre of their choice. Developments ESP Podiatrist to be part of multidisciplinary Orthopaedic Outpatient Redesign (CCI supported). This project will examine a triage system for orthopaedic referrals, with Podiatry managing the identified foot and lower limb referrals in partnership with orthopaedic consultant staff. ESP Podiatrist will undertake part of the Orthopaedic Outpatient Redesign process within a primary care setting to enable a proportion of the patient journeys to remain within the community rather than be acute based. 4 WORK IN PROGRESS NHS Argyll & Clyde AHP activities in Scottish MSK services Development of Podiatry supported self–help educational groups allowing patients a role to play in their own health management. Temporary funding obtained from Community Outpatient Services to expand Acute Low Back Pain clinics into the Health Centres. Temporary funding obtained from Centre of Change and Innovation to increase Extended Scope Practitioner sessions in Orthopaedic clinic. The intention is to see patients referred with lumbo­sacral problems. Lottery funding has been obtained to pilot an Occupational Health Physiotherapy service across Argyll & Clyde. Inverclyde Royal Hospital, Greenock Pain Clinic – physiotherapy input to a pain clinic, with access to a clinical psychologist and a pain management programme. Injection clinics – Physiotherapy led clinics in one of the health centres. Electronic referral protocols on the hospital “sky” system and in the future electronic physiotherapy referral. Self­referral to physiotherapy will be considered when the results of the national trial are published. 5 WORK IN PROGRESS NHS Ayrshire & Arran AHP activities in Scottish MSK services NHS Ayrshire & Arran NHS Ayrshire & Arran provides a range of care to around 367,000 people.

  • A Little Bit of History Monklands, As the Name Suggests, Is the Land That
    A little bit of history Monklands, as the name suggests, is the land that belonged to monks. It was bestowed on the Cistercian Monks of Newbattle Abbey in East Lothian by Royal Charter of King Malcolm IV of Scotland, 1160. Monklands embraces the parishes of Old and New Monkland with their villages and the towns of Airdrie and Coatbridge. The monks were, essentially farmers. They exported wool to Europe via the east coast ports. To do this they built a road, The King’s Highway, from Glasgow to Edinburgh. It is also likely that they worked the rich coal outcrops of the area as they were noted for giving ‘black stanes’ to the poor and needy. With the coming of the Reformation and the destruction of Monasticism the monks lost all their possessions in the Monklands. In 1695 Airdrie was granted a Burgh Charter thus creating a market town and allowing a weekly market and four annual fairs to be held. As a result, Airdrie expanded as a centre of trade and became the centre for handloom weaving. By the nineteenth century Coatbridge was firmly established as the ‘Iron Burgh’ and with the development of new technologies an increasing number of ironworks were being built in the area. All of the iron works drew their coal and ironstone mainly from the pits of Airdrie and its outlying villages but the endless supply of cheap labour and the knowledge of industrial techniques and skills didn’t exist in what was essentially a rural economy. As a result, skilled ironworkers were recruited from England and Wales.

  • Old Mines and Mine Masters of the Monklands” British Mining No.45, NMRS, Pp.66-86
    BRITISH MINING No.45 MEMOIRS 1992 Skillen, B.S. 1992 “Old Mines and Mine Masters of the Monklands” British Mining No.45, NMRS, pp.66-86. Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1992. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.45 OLD MINES AND MINES MASTERS OF THE MONKLANDS Brian S. Skillen SYNOPSIS The Monklands lie east of Glasgow, across economically worthwhile coal measures, which have been worked to a great extent. Additionally to coal it proved possible to work a good local ironstone. Mushet’s blackband ironstone proved the resource on which the Monklands rose to prosperity in the 19th century. A pot pourri of minerals was there to be worked and their exploitation may be traced back to the 17th century. Estate feuding provides the first clue to the early coal working of the Monklands. In 1616, Muirhead of Brydanhill was in dispute with Newlands of Kip ps. Such was the animosity of feeling, that the latter turned up at the tiny coal working at Brydanhill and together with his men smashed up Muirhead’s pit head.1 It is likely that Muirhead’s mine had answered purely local needs and certainly if mining did continue it was on this ephemeral basis, at least until the mid 18th century. The reasons are easy to find, fragile local markets that offered no encouragement to invest in mining and a lack of communications that stopped any hope of export. In any case the western markets were then answered by the many small coal pits about the Glasgow district, including satellite workings such as Barrachnie on the western extremity of Old Monkland Parish.

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.
