Support for Staff with Money Worries

In the current economic climate, many staff are experiencing money and debt problems, which can increase personal stress. NHSGGC has a number of resources to support staff.

Our All About Money page is specifically for staff and offers a wide range of help, practical support and advice.

The Staff Disability Forum is the longest established staff forum. It aims to make positive changes in the organisation and provide a support network for disabled staff. For further information go to our HR Connect page.

LGBTQ+ Staff Forum

For NHSGGC staff members who want to contribute to creating a more LGBTQ+ inclusive workplace, there is a LGBTQ+ forum available via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/nhsggclgbtforum/ This is private group, which you will need to request to join.


For more information about the group, contact equality@ggc.scot.nhs.uk

Black & Minority Ethnic Staff Forum

This group has been formed as a result of discussions held with Black & Minority Ethnic staff about their experience of working in NHSGGC. Issues raised by staff included stereotyping, discrimination and organisational culture, as well as the impact of negative media reporting and the anti-immigration climate. In addition to providing a support network for Black & Minority Ethnic staff, the Forum is supported by members of the Workforce Equalities Group to make positive changes within the organisation.
