Drugs are always unpredictable. There’s always a risk in taking drugs – even those someone has tried before.

If you’re around someone who becomes unwell after taking drugs or alcohol calling 999 immediately and not being afraid to talk to healthcare professionals on their behalf is vital.

Shout out to all the incredible occupational therapists across Fife and beyond!

This week marks Occupational Therapy Week — a time to shine a light on the vital role OTs play in helping people live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own homes.

From home adaptations to reablement programmes, OTs are at the heart of person-centred care, supporting individuals, carers, and communities across Fife.

This year’s theme — “Right Support, Right Time” — highlights how early OT intervention can prevent crisis, reduce pressure on services, and improve lives.

Let’s celebrate the difference OTs make — every day.

Yesterday, the Scottish Government hosted its annual Carers Parliament — a vital event that gives unpaid carers across Scotland a platform to share their experiences and influence decision-making at both national and local levels.

It was fantastic to see Fife represented at the event as some of our carers made their way to Edinburgh to take part, as well as joining online.

Roy Lawrence, our Head of Culture, Engagement and Communities joined a panel of key voices from across the health and social care sector, contributing to discussions and Q&As focused on how we can better support unpaid carers now and in the years ahead.

Fife will be holding it's first Advocacy Week, taking place from Monday 27 October to Sunday 3 November, with events running daily.

Advocacy plays a vital role in ensuring that people’s voices are heard — especially those who may find it difficult to speak up for themselves. Independent advocacy supports individuals to express their views, understand their rights, and make informed choices about their care and support. It’s a powerful tool for promoting equality, inclusion, and empowerment.

Throughout the week, we’ll be shining a spotlight on the value of advocacy in Fife at events across Fife — from raising awareness of the services available, to sharing real-life stories that show the difference advocacy can make.

Come along to find out more about Independent Advocacy and how it could help you or someone you support.

Interested in volunteering? There are opportunities to get involved and make a real impact.

Let’s celebrate the power of advocacy — and the people who make it happen.
