Help Him Make the Right Call!

When it comes to their health, men don’t like reaching out. If you think he’s ill or hurt, make sure you all know where to go. It would ease the pressure on A&E too.

Accessing the right care is as easy as A,B,C:

Ask yourself: Do I need to go out? For information on treating minor illnesses and injuries from home, go to NHS inform.
Be aware: There is help for many conditions on your doorstep. Your local GP, pharmacy or optician offer a range of services.
Call 111. If it’s urgent, or you’re unsure, call NHS 24 on 111. They’ll get you the care you need.

What is a Hate Crime?

Hate crimes are crimes that are motivated by prejudice of some kind. These are crimes where the victim is targeted because they are a member of a particular social group or have a particular characteristic, which the perpetrator has negative views or beliefs about. The legal definition is:

“Any crime which is understood by the victim or any other person as being motivated (wholly or partly) by malice or ill will towards a social group.”

With the introduction of the Hate Crime and Public Order Act (2021) in April 2024, the law recognises crimes motivated by prejudice based on someone’s:

Disability, including physical disability, learning disability and mental health difficulty

Race (including nationality, ethnicity and skin colour)

Religion

Sexual Orientation

Transgender Identity

Variations in Sex Characteristics

These groups suffer disproportionately as victims of harassment and crime and much of this is motivated by prejudice. In addition to the effect on the individuals experiencing the hostility, these incidents create mistrust and suspicion between communities. This makes hate crime an issue for every service and every community.

Everyone has a role to play in stopping hate crime. If an incident is perceived by the victim – or any other person – as being motivated by prejudice or hate then it should be reported as a hate crime.

Watch the following video for more information.

Reporting Hate Crime – everyone’s business

Help & Support for Victims

Many hate crimes go unreported for a number of reasons.

For many people, exposure to abuse is a life-long experience and not perceived as crime.
Some people may know the perpetrators and be frightened of the consequences of reporting. They may even be suffering at the hands of people claiming to be their friends.
Some people may have a fear or mistrust of the police. Others may have previously reporting a hate crime but feel it wasn’t taken seriously.

If you are in a position to talk to people who may be at risk of hate crime then ask the question. Many people will want to be asked but are never given the opportunity to disclose.

If someone discloses a hate crime to you there are steps you can take to support that person to make a formal report even if they don’t want to be identified.

If you witness a hate crime you can contact the police and report it. This can also be done anonymously

How to Report a Hate Crime

If it’s not an emergency (if there is no immediate risk to the wellbeing of the individual) you can call 101 and make a verbal report to the police.

You can also report a Hate Crime online by going to https://www.scotland.police.uk/secureforms/hate-crime/

The form can be used by anyone who

is the victim of hate crime
has witnessed a hate crime, or
is reporting the crime on behalf of someone else.

Hate Crimes can be reported anonymously. If you are working with a patient or client who does not want to give name but wants you to support them to report it you can assure them of their anonymity.

This may mean Police are restricted in the action they can take, but just reporting a perceived offense will allow Police to target resources to a particular area so you may see things like an increased police presence.

999 should be called in any emergency.

Staff Datix Reporting

All Hate Incidents should be recorded on DATIX .

A Hate Incident field should be selected and completed under the category ‘violence and aggression’. Incidents are regularly reviewed by NHSGGC’s Violence and Aggression Team and any developing trends or ‘hotspots’ can be identified and appropriate interventions made. Local managers with reviewing and approval responsibilities will interrogate the Datix reports and ensure appropriate outcomes are achieved.

FAQs about Hate Crime

What is a Hate Crime?

In Scotland the law recognises crimes motivated by prejudice based on

Age
Race (including nationality, ethnicity and skin colour)
Religion
Sexual Orientation
Disability, including physical disability, learning disability and mental health difficulty
Transgender Identity
Variations in Sex Characteristics

Do I have to give my name to make a report?

No you don’t. Hate Crimes can be reported anonymously. This may mean Police are restricted in the action they can take, but just reporting a perceived offense will allow Police to target resources to a particular area so you may see things like an increased police presence. If you are working with a patient or client who does not want to give name but wants you to support them to report it you can assure them of their anonymity.

Can I report a Hate Crime?

Yes you can. An online hate crime report is available at: https://www.scotland.police.uk/secureforms/hate-crime/

The form can be used by anyone how is the victim of hate crime, has witnessed a hate crime or is reporting the crime on behalf of someone else.

Will the police take me seriously?

Yes they will. Hate crimes are serious incidents and Police will respond appropriately.

Do I have to report at a police station?

No you don’t. You can report it online at: https://www.scotland.police.uk/secureforms/hate-crime/ or use any one of the many 3rd Party Reporting Centres in the Glasgow area. You can find your nearest 3rd Party reporting centre here: http://www.hatecrimescotland.org/report-it/centres/

The incident happened weeks ago…can I still report it?

Yes you can. If an incident is happening there and then, you need to call 999 and report it immediately to the police, but if it happened in the past you can still call 101 – the police non-emergency number and report it or go online and complete the hate crime reporting form.

What if I’m not sure if it is a Hate Crime?

It is not your responsibility to prove that a hate crime has occurred. It is the job of the police to gather evidence from a range of sources during their investigation of an incident. This includes CCTV footage, witness statements and forensic evidence.

The Lord Advocate has told the police that an incident must be investigated as a hate crime if it is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be aggravated by prejudice.

This means that your perceptions are important. When you report a hate crime, tell the police that you believe it was motivated by prejudice and why you think that is the case. This could be about the language used at the time, things you have heard the suspects say in the past or that certain groups are being singled out in your street / building, etc.

Why do we need Hate Crime laws?

The Scottish Government Working Group on Hate Crime gives 3 reasons for having hate crime legislation.

Research consistently shows that some social groups are proportionately more often victims of harassment and crime and that much of this is motivated by prejudice against those groups
Hate crimes can cause more psychological damage to a victim than crimes that are not motivated by hatred, because the victim’s core identity is being attacked. This personalises the crime and can cause the victim a greater amount of distress.

Hate crime is socially divisive. Such crimes need to be particularly condemned in order to avoid a situation in which the relevant group feels victimised as a group, with members in constant fear of attack. Prejudice against groups can lead to a number of consequences, ranging from fear of crime and inability to participate in normal social activities to paranoia and vigilantism

Personal Safety As well as complying with our health and safety policies and processes, there are a number of things that staff can do themselves to keep safe. Tips include:

Raising the alarm – if you are in imminent or immediate danger or a crime is in progress, call Police Scotland on 999. If a crime has already happened, report this to Police Scotland by calling 101. You can also report crime online on the Police Scotland Website. Most smartphones also have an inbuilt Emergency SOS feature – consider setting this up on your personal mobile.
Be alert and aware of the people around you – avoid ‘autopilot’ and pay attention to your surroundings. If wearing headphones, make sure you are still able to hear outside noise. Keep your head up and out of your phone when you’re walking. Walk with purpose and confidence. If you receive verbal racial abuse outside of work, do not engage with the aggressor – continue progressing to your intended destination or to another place of safety. Take a description of the aggressor and note your location, date and time – this information is important when reporting to Police Scotland. If you receive physical abuse, attempt to maintain your own safety – you may have to use reasonable force to aid your escape.
If you receive verbal or physical abuse in the workplace: verbal and physical aggression from patients and visitors should be managed using The Standards of Behaviour Protocol – as well as reported to Police Scotland and reported on DATIX. Violence Reduction Training is available across GGC to support staff at risk of violence and aggression.

Care Home Teams

Our Purpose and Approach

The Care Home Collaborative (CHC) works in partnership with all care homes across Greater Glasgow and Clyde. We learn from and work with care home teams and their communities to help residents live their lives according to what matters to them.

How we’re modernising services to support patients and staff

To help improve patient experience across hospital sites within urgent and unscheduled care services, we are constantly developing and implementing new and innovative pathways which help us provide additional and faster routes for them to access urgent and unscheduled care as an alternative to A&E.

These new pathways and services improve patient flow through our hospitals, avoid unnecessary bottlenecks and ensure our capacity is being utilised in the most efficient way possible across all of the health service.

This webpage outlines some of the work underway to deliver this ambitious project, which is overseen by the Urgent and Unscheduled Care (UUC) Oversight Board.

Virtual Pathways

Technology is playing a key role in modernising our health services and the creation of virtual pathways is already having a significant impact on our urgent and unscheduled care patients. Virtual pathways enable us to provide urgent care outside of A&E, and in many instances, in the comfort of the patient’s home –freeing up valuable capacity within our acute sites and giving our patients a better experience.

At the core of virtual pathways lies the FNC which launched in December 2020. The FNC enables patients who would otherwise visit A&E, to receive a direct video or telephone consultation with an emergency care clinician. Externally the FNC is branded as virtual A&E. You can find out more information by visiting our FNC webpage or watching the video below.

Interface Care

Interface Care is new approach to enable primary and community care providers such as GPs to access immediate specialist care advice from acute colleagues to help assess patients who may otherwise be sent to A&E.

The programme is currently in development, with new respiratory pathways coming online alongside heart failure pathways. With more immediate clinical advice being made available, the hope is to ensure patients receive the right type of treatment for their needs, faster, and without having to be admitted to hospital.

Falls and Frailty

Our teams are working closely with HSCP / Scottish Ambulance Service and other partners to establish new methods of A&E avoidance for elderly and vulnerable patients who would otherwise have been sent to hospital.

By linking these specialist frailty teams as early as possible in the patient journey, often patients are able to be discharged from hospital faster, or avoid A&E altogether.

Home First Response

Home First Response launched in November 2022 and helps provide targeted interventions to older and vulnerable patients who would otherwise spend long periods of time in hospital. Being treated at home provides significant benefits – increasing recovery time, preserving mobility and reducing the chance of delirium.

As part of the rollout, specially trained HSCP staff have been recruited and embedded alongside acute frailty teams at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and Paisley’s Royal Alexandra Hospital to help limit admissions, improve early discharges and support anticipatory care planning.

Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) service

OPAT is a specialist-led service which provides acute-level hospital care in an outpatient capacity to patients with complex infections is playing a critical role in freeing crucial bed space in hospitals across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

Based at the QEUH in Glasgow, but with outreach to hospitals throughout NHSGGC, the specialist OPAT team is made up of nurses, pharmacists and infectious disease consultants and can see more than 100 new referrals each month.

The service treats patients with infections who require IV antibiotics either on a short or long-term basis but who are otherwise suitable for outpatient treatment. This might include, for example, patients suffering cellulitis, which is a common skin infection or, a range of other difficult to treat infections, for example, complicating diabetes, chronic lung disease or surgery.

About one in three patients are referred direct by GPs and avoid hospital admission altogether while two thirds (usually with more complex infection and requiring initial hospital investigations and treatment) have their hospital stay significantly shortened. For patients that require an initial inpatient stay, the time spent in hospital is shortened by an average of three weeks per patient.

Hospital at Home

Hospital at home aims to keep patients out of hospital by providing the same level of high-quality multi-disciplinary care they would receive as inpatients.

Eligible patients are identified either upon presenting at A&E thus avoiding admission, or to enable an early supported discharge, or they can be referred by their GP. Patients need to be over the age of 65 to be suitable for the service.

An example of a hospital at home patient would be an elderly person who has fallen at home, has a severe infection, delirium, or who has seen an acute functional decline due to an existing health condition. Individual assessments take place for each patient before a decision is made.

Patients who are treated within Hospital at Home also have access to hospital-level diagnostics, such as endoscopy services, radiology, cardiology and a range of urgent hospital-level interventions such as IV therapy and oxygen.

Care is delivered by a team of Nurses (including Advanced Nurse Practitioners and Consultant Nurse), GPs, Pharmacists, Occupational Therapists and Consultant Geriatricians.

Who will be offered the COVID-19 vaccine

Coronavirus can be more serious if you are older or have a weakened immune system.

For spring 2026, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advises that a COVID-19 vaccine should be offered to:

Residents in care homes for older adults
Those aged 75 years and over
Those aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed as defined in the COVID-19: the green book chapter – GOV.UK

Programme Age Limits

Residents in care homes for older adults: There is no age restriction for this group. All residents in care homes for older adults are eligible.
Those aged 75 and over: To be eligible this spring, an individual must be aged 75 years on or before 30 June 2026, so will have been born on or before 30 June 1951.
Those who are immunosuppressed: Individuals who are immunosuppressed must be at least 6 months of age by 01 April 2026, therefore must have been born on or before 01 October 2025.

If an individual knows that they are eligible for vaccination this spring as part of the immunosuppressed group, or by virtue of being aged 75 years and older (up to and including 30 June 2026), and have not been sent an appointment or prompt invitation, they can book via the portal or by calling the national vaccination helpline on 0800 030 8013.

Drop In Clinics

The Mobile Vaccination Bus is a drop in service. This means that there may be busy times and you may have to wait. The mobile clinic can only accommodate 4 vaccinators and a limited supply of vaccine. Please be patient. (Please note – the mobile vaccination unit is for over 18 years only). You may wish to book an appointment at one of our Vaccination Centres instead. You can do this by going to the online booking portal or by calling the National Contact Centre on 0800 030 8013.

Mobile Vaccination Unit Drop -ins

The Mobile Vaccination Bus service will offer the spring covid vaccination at:

Tuesday 16th June – Ferguslie Sports Centre, 100 Blackstoun Road, Howwood, PA3 1EX – 10:00am – 16:00pm

Wednesday 17th June – Tesco Car Park, Brown Street, Port Glasgow, PA14 5BP- 10:00am – 16:00pm

Thursday 18th June – Morrisons, Kirkintilloch Road, G64 2LS – 10:00am – 16:00pm

Why should I get the COVID-19 vaccine?

Coronavirus can be serious. If you’re being offered the free COVID-19 vaccine, you are more at risk of coronavirus-related complications and need extra protection, even if you feel healthy or have a health condition that is mild or well managed.

If you do get coronavirus and have been vaccinated, the symptoms are likely to be milder and not last as long. This will reduce your risk of complications or needing treatment in hospital.

Millions of doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been given in Scotland since its introduction in December 2020, and many more have been given worldwide.

How can I reschedule my appointment?

If you are unable to attend or cannot get to this location, you can change your appointment online at:

NHS Inform – Invitations and Appointments webpage

Alternatively, you can phone the national vaccination helpline on 0800 030 8013 to rearrange your appointment. The helpline is open from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday, 9am to 1pm on Saturday and closed on Sunday.

Please note this number is for rescheduling appointments only.

If you missed your scheduled appointment

If you have missed your vaccination appointment, you must wait 72 hours after the time of that appointment before you can book a new one via the online booking portal.

Request support with interpretation, or get help with travelling to your appointment

Support is available in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde if you:

require an interpreter at your vaccination appointment
need help finding transport to your vaccination appointment

Get help with travelling to your appointment

You can plan your journey using the Traveline journey planner, which provides up‑to‑date public transport routes and travel times. Further help with planning your journey is available on the Traveline Scotland website or by calling 0141 465 1878 (open 24 hours a day).

You can also find maps and directions for all our main hospital sites by visiting Main Hospitals – NHSGGC

If you’re unable to leave your home (due to your mobility or physical ability or mental health condition) or if you need additional support at your appointment (for example, someone to support you when you arrive or a private space to be vaccinated), phone the national vaccination helpline on 0800 030 8013 and your request will be sent to your local health board.

How To Tell Your Story?

We believe that every staff member, resident and family member have a unique story to tell. These stories are powerful tools that guide us in developing person centred approaches that improve outcomes for people living, visiting and working in care homes.

To ensure we capture and share these meaningful experiences, we have established a dedicated section on our website. This platform serves as a safe space for residents, family members and staff to contribute their stories, insights and positive moments.

1. Enhancing Quality of Care: By actively listening to the voices of residents and their families, we gain invaluable insight into their preferences, needs, and concerns. This enables us to tailor care plans and services to meet their individual requirements effectively.

2. Building Trust and Connection: Openly engaging with residents and their families fosters trust, strengthens relationships, and promotes a sense of belonging. By valuing experiences, we create an environment where everyone feels heard and respected.

3. Continuous Improvement: Staff, resident and family feedback is a catalyst for improvement and by promoting participation, you can identify areas where you excel and areas that require enhancement, allowing you to continuously evolve and provide the highest level of care possible.

By sharing your story with us, you have the opportunity to inspire others, create connections, and help us shape a better care experience for everyone involved. Your story might highlight the impact of best practice, compassionate care, celebrate a personal achievement, or simply express gratitude for the way support was received.

1. Download and complete the template with brief details

2. Craft your story, ensuring to maintain confidentiality and respect privacy.

3. Submit your story by Email: ggc.chccontact@ggc.scot.nhs.uk , and let your voice be heard!
