Time to Talk Day is the UK’s biggest mental health conversation, aimed at breaking stigma and encouraging open dialogue. This year in North East Glasgow, Health Improvement staff supported local conversations through small grants, enabling 20 community groups to host inclusive wellbeing events.
As one participant shared, “The funding helped provide a platform for our members to open up about the social issues affecting our community and explore how we can support one another.” At The Glenburn, the impact was clear—creating a safe, supportive space where local women could combat loneliness, build friendships, and boost their mental wellbeing through laughter, creativity, and shared experiences.
To share these powerful stories, East End Community Radio produced Let’s Talk—a six-episode podcast series highlighting the impact across the community.
In the first episode of Let’s Talk, Chloe introduces the podcast and explains how Health Improvement supports mental wellbeing in the community. Stuart then chats with our first guest, Barbara, who shares her experience working in mental health across Glasgow. She highlights key local services and offers a simple, helpful tip for staying mentally well.

She reflects on what participants enjoyed, why it mattered, and offers a practical tip for supporting positive mental health. We also hear from five local organisations — BCLC, Bluevale, Cranhill Development Trust, Calvay Centre, and Whiterose — as they share how they got involved, the impact of their activities, and how they continue to promote mental wellbeing in their communities.
In Episode 3 of Let’s Talk, Claire introduces her North East Hubcap and shares how they supported staff wellbeing through a Time to Talk activity, reflecting on what made it meaningful and offering a practical mental health tip. This episode also features voices from Easterhouse Baptist Church, Easterhouse Sports Centre, Denmilne Community Action Group, The Glenburn, and Pavilion, as they discuss their Time to Talk Day events, the impact on their communities, and how they continue to champion mental wellbeing in their everyday work.
In Episode 4 of Let’s Talk, Christine introduces the Springburn and Robroyston Hubcap and shares how their Time to Talk activity supported staff wellbeing, highlighting what made it meaningful and offering a practical mental health tip. This episode also features BCDC, North East Recovery Café (NERC), Royston Youth Action, and Beatroute Arts, as they reflect on their Time to Talk Day events, the impact on their communities, and how they continue to promote open conversations around mental health.

This episode also features With Kids, Halliday Foundation, St Paul’s Community Hub, Fuse, and Shettleston Growing, as they reflect on their Time to Talk Day events, the impact on their communities, and how they continue to encourage open conversations around mental health.
In the final episode of Let’s Talk, Ann and Michelle reflect on the importance of mental health conversations and the resources available to support communities in North East Glasgow. Ann shares insights from her role, including the delivery of Scottish Mental Health First Aid (SMHFA) training, while Michelle highlights key resources from the Mental Health Board Team available on the NHS GGC website (Mental Health Improvement – NHSGGC). Both offer practical tips for maintaining positive mental wellbeing. Stuart closes the series by thanking listeners and celebrating the breadth of work delivered across the North East for Time to Talk.
We extend our sincere thanks to all the organisations, partners, and community members who generously shared their time, voices, and expertise during the Time to Talk Week of Action and podcast series. Your valued collaboration is deeply appreciated and plays a vital role in bringing important mental health conversations to life.

Please watch this short video to help you find us.
We run different specialised clinics which include medic-led Rehabilitation clinics, joint Multi-disciplinary clinics, and Spasticity management clinics.
We accept referrals for adults who are 16 years and over, have a neurological condition (excluding stroke) and live in Glasgow or from areas with an agreed care pathway (NHS Western Isles and NHS Lanarkshire).
Referrals can be made by any health or social care professional. If the referral is not appropriate for us we will try and suggest an alternative.
When referring into NRU Outpatient clinics, please include the following information:
Once completed, please send to: Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine, Neurorehabilitation Unit, QEUH, 1345 Govan Road, Glasgow G51 4TF.
The NRU provides level 2 specialist inpatient neurological rehabilitation for patients from Glasgow and surrounding areas. The unit has beds that are part of the West of Scotland Major Trauma network.
The NRU is situated at the back of the QEUH across from A&E and in front of the Langlands building. It is a ground floor bungalow.
The ward operates a flexible visiting in line with NHSGGC visiting policy. We would encourage visitors to come out with meal times and timetabled therapy sessions where possible.

NRU operates with a multidisciplinary team approach. This means lots of different professionals come together to work as a team to promote your recovery.
Patient’s may not need to see all of these team members as some may be more relevant to your condition than others. In addition some patient’s may be provided with mobility aids (walking aids, wheelchairs) to increase independence, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that this will be long term.
Once a patient arrives in NRU we will create a therapy timetable. We encourage patients to take responsibility for attending therapies but will support as required. It is useful to let friends and family know the timetable as visiting should be arranged around therapies and mealtimes. The intensity of therapy is usually greater than in other wards.
We provide some input as a group-based intervention or undertaken alongside other patients.
We have a mix of single and 4 bedded rooms. The allocation of each is based on patient need and may be subject to change during a patient’s hospital stay.

You will be referred by your GP or by a hospital consultant.
It is helpful if you have a full bladder when you attend for scan. Your scan may be performed in two ways: by abdominal approach (a full bladder will help with this method) and or vaginal approach. Both of these methods are comfortable and the sonographer will explain why they have chosen which method is best on the day. The doctor or sonographer may ask you when your last period was and we can carry out scans at any time of the cycle, including when you have your period.
Your appointment will take around 10 to 30 minutes.
The doctor or sonographer may explain some of the findings during the examination. You will get a more detailed explanation of your results at a separate clinic appointment or by letter from your gynaecology consultant or GP.
