If your child is struggling to go to school, your family isn't the only one facing this challenge.
There are many reasons why children find it difficult to attend:
• Anxiety and mental health
• Not feeling they belong
• Additional support needs
• Complex family circumstances.
What matters is taking the next step together. Find support at www.parentclub.scot/school

💬 This week’s comes from a patient who shared their experience of care received at University Hospital Hairmyres.

“Cannot praise the staff highly enough. I attended Hairmyres A&E with severe abdominal pain and received excellent care despite the busy department. I was quickly diagnosed and treated, and my two-night stay in Ward 4 was outstanding. All staff were friendly, professional and helpful. I am very grateful.”

Today we’re sharing a short video from Christina Smith, currently receiving support at Blantyre LIFE – South Lanarkshire’s award‑winning intermediate care service helping people regain confidence and independence after a hospital stay.

Blantyre LIFE is part of how South Lanarkshire University Health and Social Care Partnership is shifting the balance of care, supporting more people to recover in a homely setting, closer to family and community. By focusing on what matters most to each person, it also plays an important role in Discharge Without Delay, helping people leave hospital as soon as they are ready and supporting strong performance on delayed discharge.

Huge thanks to Christina for sharing her experience so openly, and to all of our staff for the care and compassion they show every day.
