The Health Agency was delighted to be part of the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, Neil Gray MSP’s visit to Wester Hailes Medical Practice on Thursday 06 February 25. He spoke with a multidisciplinary team including local GP’s, practice nurse, mental health nurse, community link worker and The Health Agency to better understand the needs of the local residents in Wester Hailes.
This led to positive conversations about the importance of Health, Social Care and the third sector working together to combat the effects of deep poverty, inequality, physical and mental health issues, social isolation, and food insecurity experienced by our local community. It emphasised the powerful impact that a partnership-led approach has on creating a healthier, stronger and more robust community – where local people can enjoy longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives.
