In the 2024/25 winter season, we saw some of the highest numbers of acute admissions for flu since pre-pandemic. Even in individuals without chronic respiratory conditions, flu can lead to significant respiratory complications. Deborah Anderson, respiratory nurse, explains the importance of the flu vaccine for respiratory patients.

💙 This week’s comes from a family who shared their heartfelt gratitude following the care their beloved papa received at University Hospital Hairmyres ED and Ward 8.

They described the compassion, professionalism and dignity shown by every member of staff — from the paramedics who first attended, to ANP Amy, and to Lisa, Pamela and Megan in Ward 8 who cared for both their papa and the whole family.

“In his weakest they gave strength, in the sadness they gave us peace, and they made what was a tragic and awful experience — beautiful. Our papa passed away with grace and dignity, surrounded by his family and the amazing staff who cared for him.”

Our Lanarkshire Green Health Partnership (LGHP) was gifted several special Catherine’s Roses from NHS Charities Together. Through the joint royal patronage of Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales, these were planted within the existing greenspace at Kirklands Head Quarters and will bloom into beautiful roses in the spring.

As part of the LGHP, Clydesdale Community Initiatives (CCI) and their dedicated community volunteers, alongside members of the Learning Disability Service Occupational Therapy Team and NHS Lanarkshire’s very own Catherine; Catherine Oates Administration Team Leader – Primary Care, planted these roses together.

NHS Charities Together sent three rose plants to various partners they have supported to bring their outdoor areas to life. Each blossomed rose will enhance the green spaces created through the Greener Communities Fund, which helps NHS staff, patients, and local communities benefit from time in nature.
