Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is now included in the newborn bloodspot screening programme across Forth Valley and Scotland.

With parental consent, babies born in Scotland are routinely screened for SMA shortly after birth.

SMA is a genetic condition that affects the muscles, caused by nerve cells in the spinal cord not working as they should. This can lead to muscle weakness over time.

Early detection is vital. Screening allows treatment to start as soon as possible, significantly improving outcomes and giving babies the best possible start in life.

This reflects our ongoing commitment to early diagnosis, improved care, and supporting families across our communities.

Thank you to all the teams, partners and families who have helped make this possible.

All GP practices across the Forth Valley area will have their clinical system replaced over the next 12 months, as part of a national programme.

This may impact your GP practice services for a short period during the system changeover. However, everything possible will be done to minimise any potential disruption and local GP Practices will contact patients in advance to advise of local arrangements.

Huge Congratulations to Alec Souter, a porter at Forth Valley Royal Hospital, who received a Serco Star Award for the support he showed to a young patient receiving end-of-life care who was a massive Thomas the Tank fan. Alec dressed up as the Controller to visit the Children’s Ward to create a magical and memorable experience for the child and their family.

He also created a personalised recording of the Controller for the child’s funeral service and supplied photos of their favourite trains Thomas and Percy to show on the screens during the service. His compassion and dedication profoundly touched everyone involved.

The Frailty Unit at Forth Valley Royal Hospital recently celebrated its first anniversary and has provided high-quality care to 4616 local people from across the Forth Valley area over the last year.

The 23-bed Unit, located within the hospital’s Acute Assessment Unit, provides care for adults aged 65 years and over with a wide range of conditions and health issues linked to frailty – a recognised clinical condition, where the body’s reserves and resilience diminish over time, making individuals less able to recover quickly after an illness, infection or accident.
