Scottish Recovery Network are hosting a free webinar "Embedding Peer Support into Clinical Mental Health Services" aimed at those who support the development and delivery of mental health services.

One of our East Dun HSCP colleagues, Lucy Dill, will be sharing insights on integrating peer support into services.

Details below.

🧩Free webinar: Embedding Peer Support into Clinical Mental Health Services - 5 February, 10:00 -11:00

Our next Peer Connects webinar is for anyone supporting the design, development, and delivery of mental health services in Scotland, including Peer Workers, Service Managers, Team Leaders, and Commissioners.

Peer support is increasingly recognised as a vital part of high-quality mental health support, but what does meaningful integration with clinical services look like in practice?

Join us to hear from Kathryn Thompson, Peer Recovery Worker with Community Mental Health Team East, NHS Tayside, and Lucy Dill, Peer Worker in East Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership (East Dunbartonshire Health Information) / NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

Drawing on their lived and professional experience, they’ll share practical insights into how their service is integrating peer approaches day to day, the learning emerging from this work, and the positive impact it is having for people using services, practitioners, teams, and the wider system.

60 minutes of ideas and inspiration to kick start your day!

Are you aged 25–29? When was your last cervical screening aka smear test?

Less than half of women aged 25-29 in GGC are attending smear test appointments when invited, even though it only takes a few minutes and could be lifesaving.

💬⚽To help normalise conversations of smear tests (and make them a lot less awkward!), we’ve teamed up with Glasgow City FC to encourage open, honest chats about why they matter. We'll be sharing more this week.

If you're due a smear test appointment, be sure to contact your GP to lock this in. And, next time you’re talking to your friends, encourage them to do the same!
