Forth Valley Health Team Shortlisted for Scottish Health Awards

Lodged by Dean Lockhart Standard Motion 31 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Forth Valley Primary Care Multidisciplinary Team on being shortlisted in the People’s Choice category in the Scottish Health Awards for 2021; understands that the multidisciplinary team involves a wide range of staff, including local GPs, hospital- and community-based pharmacists and care home staff from Strathcarron Hospice; notes that the team supported more than 2,000 vulnerable residents in accessing medicines in the area’s 66 care homes at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic; recognises that this was possible because of a system that allows GPs to prescribe in advance for extremely vulnerable residents at risk of severe illness due to COVID-19; understands that this new process was put in place within 72 hours and was supported by a training programme, new transport infrastructure and hubs to manage communications, and wishes the team the best of luck for the awards, which will be determined by a public vote.
