NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s Anti-racism Plan was launched in June 2025. Reflecting our Equality Outcomes (2025 – 2029) and following guidance developed by the Scottish Government, it brings together our existing anti-racism work and our planned new activities in a single document.
The Plan outlines the actions we will take to:
actively seek out and remove racism and discriminatory practice
identify the systems and behaviour that are allowing this to happen
ensure that everyone feels able to bring these to light.
In Year 1 of the Plan, these actions have included the following.
All NHSGGC Directors now have specific anti-racism objectives included in their annual objectives.
Anti-racism elements are included in management training and all staff training provided by the Equality & Human Rights Team explores institutional racism.
There have been significant improvements in gathering ethnicity data, which is used to measure whether our services are meeting the needs of Black & Minority Ethnic (BME) patients. Latest minority ethnic monitoring data for acute appointments and admissions stands at 88.25%. Anti-racism work in Maternity Services has resulted in 99.6% data capture from minority ethnic patients.
A dedicated BME leadership programme for staff completed its third cycle in 2025.
A Mentoring programme for BME Staff was launched in January 2025, and a review took place to identify further opportunities to support career development for BME staff.
Our supported BME Staff Network has a current membership of 500 members.
A comprehensive series of Hate Crime Awareness and Reporting sessions ran across 2025 encouraging and empowering staff the report all incidents.
40 assessments using the Frontline Equality Assessment Tool (FEAT) were completed in Year 1, helping to identify areas where staff need additional support to meet the needs of all patients. This work also helped assess awareness and use of the patient pathway app, ‘Meeting the Needs of BME People’, which supports frontline staff in understanding and responding sensitively to the needs of BME patients.
In Maternity Services, anti-racism training was delivered to management and frontline staff and a range of resources have been produced to better meet the needs of minority ethnic mothers.
Following a series of feedback sessions in Year 1 with members of the BME Network and senior staff, the Coalition of Race Equality and Rights (CRER) made a range of recommendations which have been mapped against the existing Plan.
Our staff and patients with lived experience of racism, as well as other organisations working against racism, will continue to tell us how effectively our actions are helping us achieve our goals.
For a full update on progress, along with proposed actions for 2026 – 2027, see our Year 2 Action Plan.

Seasonal Flu Vaccination
The seasonal flu vaccine will be offered to eligible staff between September and December. If you are eligible, we strongly encourage you to take up the offer of vaccination to help protect yourself, your colleagues, your family, and the patients and communities we serve
Winter Flu Vaccination 2026
Staff Vaccination 2026/27
The joint committee on vaccination and immunisation (JCVI) advice is to offer the vaccines to those at high risk of serious illness from flu or COVID-19 and who are therefore most likely to benefit from vaccination.
All those eligible will be invited for vaccination. NHS Scotland will contact you with more information if you’re eligible for the COVID-19 and/or flu vaccines.
Please wait to be contacted about your vaccination. Do not try to make an appointment until you’ve been invited by NHS Scotland.
As winter approaches, flu can have a significant impact on our health, our families, and the services we provide. Receiving your seasonal flu vaccination is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself, your colleagues, and those in our care.
Each year, flu contributes to staff absences, places additional pressure on healthcare services, and increases the risk of serious illness for vulnerable patients. By choosing to get vaccinated, you are helping to reduce the spread of flu within our communities and supporting NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde to continue delivering safe, high-quality care throughout the winter period.
The flu vaccine is available free of charge to NHS and Health & Social Care staff who have direct patient or client contact and is strongly recommended, even if you are fit and healthy. While no vaccine can provide complete protection, vaccination remains the most effective way to reduce your risk of flu and its potentially serious complications.
Who is eligible?
Those living in long-stay residential care homes or other long-stay care facilities
All those aged 65 and over
All those aged 18 to 65 years in defined risk groups. This includes: o those in clinical at-risk groups set out in Influenza: the green book, chapter 19 – GOV.UK o those experiencing homelessness o those experiencing substance misuse o asylum seekers living in Home Office hotel or B&B accommodation o all prisoners within the Scottish prison estate o pregnant women
Frontline health and social care workers
All NHS staff
Poultry workers & bird handlers (eligibility information in Annex A)
Cattle & Swine workers (eligibility information in Annex B)
Unpaid carers and young carers
Household contacts of those with immunosuppression
For anyone that is hospital based, there are over 40 peer vaccinators working across our hospital sites continuing to offer staff vaccines within their ward settings.
Health and social care staff are also able to access community pharmacy to receive their flu vaccine at a time and place that is convenient to them. To find out participating pharmacies, please see ‘community pharmacy’ section.
Community flu vaccination clinics are also available. These can be booked by visiting Login – Customer Service (nhs.scot) or calling 0800 030 8013 during the hours of Monday to Friday 9.00am to 6.00pm or Saturday 9.00am to 1.00pm.
For staff with a weakened immune system who access the national booking portal. They may say an automatic message advising them to wait until they have received their letter. This is directed at those staff members who are 65 or over, immunocompromised, or ‘at-risk’.

Peer Immunisation and Peer Champion Programme 2026
The Peer Immunisation Programme is a key part of the NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde staff flu vaccination campaign. It enables trained staff volunteers to deliver flu vaccinations to colleagues within their own workplaces, making it easier and more convenient for staff to get protected.
Peer Immunisers play a vital role in increasing vaccine uptake, protecting our workforce and patients, and helping to maintain essential services throughout the winter months. We are delighted to already have volunteers from across NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde supporting this year’s campaign. However, to maximise our reach and accessibility, we are keen to recruit even more Peer Immunisers from a wide range of teams, services and locations.
By becoming a Peer Immuniser, you can make a meaningful contribution to the health and wellbeing of your colleagues while supporting NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde’s commitment to delivering safe, effective care during the winter season.
Alongside this, Peer Champions help to promote the importance of vaccination within their teams and departments. Peer Champions act as advocates for the campaign by sharing key messages, encouraging colleagues to get vaccinated, raising awareness of local clinics, and helping to create a positive culture around immunisation.
Interested in becoming a Peer Immuniser?
If you would like to participate in this year’s Peer Immunisation Programme, please contact shona.macleod7@nhs.scot for further information. You will also be required to complete a Self-Declaration Form as part of the registration process.
Interested in becoming a Peer Champion?
If you are passionate about promoting staff health and wellbeing and would like to support the vaccination campaign within your area, we would love to hear from you. Please contact shona.macleod7@nhs.scot to find out more about becoming a Peer Champion.
Winter vaccines for Health and Social Care Staff
Winter vaccines for Health and Social Care Staff
Why are these vaccines so important?
The flu vaccine is the best way to help protect yourself against flu this year. It reduces the risk of spreading flu to your family, patients and colleagues who could be at risk of catching the virus.
Immunisation of health and social care staff aims to protect workers at high risk of exposure. If you don’t have face to face patient contact, and are not otherwise eligible.
Getting the vaccines you are eligible for will also support your health, safety and wellbeing over the winter period and help reduce the level of sickness absence. This, in turn, will support staff to maintain services for patients.
Participating community pharmacies
Health and social care staff can also choose to receive their flu vaccination through participating community pharmacies, providing a convenient option based on individual location and availability.
There is no requirement to present identification when attending for vaccination; however, staff should advise the community pharmacy they are an NHS or HSCP employee or work in social care.
Details of participating pharmacies are available in the ‘Community Pharmacy Vaccination’ section.
Who is eligible?
Health social care and social work staff who work directly with patients and provide support services are eligible for the flu vaccine this year.
Non-frontline NHS staff are also eligible for the flu vaccine.
Vaccination of staff groups will protect health services from staff absences during the winter months. It is recommended staff take up the offer of vaccination this year to protect those in their care and themselves.
Health and social care staff are also able to access community pharmacy to receive their flu vaccine at a time and place that is convenient to them.
Staff are not required to bring identification; however, please ensure you advise the community pharmacy they are an NHS or HSCP employee or work in social care.
Pharmacies providing the vaccines can be found in the list below:
Stobhill Hospital Bus – First Bus Train – ScotRail The clinic is situated at the rear of Stobhill Hospital (Seminar Rooms) Go through main entrance door and continue to the exit directly at the rear of the building. The seminar rooms are at the building on the left.
Primary Care is the front door to healthcare in NHSGGC, providing essential, first‑contact services to more than 1.3 million people across the region.
Aradhana is a Practice Pharmacist at Apsley Street Surgery within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
Many people are familiar with community pharmacists working in local pharmacies, but fewer realise that pharmacists are also part of the team within GP practices across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
The Role of the GP Practice Pharmacist
GP Practice Pharmacists work alongside GPs, nurses, reception staff and other healthcare professionals to help patients get the most from their medicines. Their role is to ensure medications are safe, effective and appropriate, while supporting patients to better understand and manage their treatment.
Aradhana offers an insight into the important role pharmacists play in Primary Care and how they help patients every day.
“Many people know about community pharmacists, but may not realise that pharmacists also work within GP practices as part of the wider healthcare team.
“Our role is to support patients with their medicines and help make sure they are getting the best possible benefit from their treatment.”
When Might You See a GP Practice Pharmacist?
Patients may see a GP Practice Pharmacist for a variety of reasons.
This could include reviewing several medications, discussing concerns about side effects, checking whether medicines are working as intended, or simply helping someone better understand their treatment.
A pharmacist can often provide additional support and reassurance for patients who have questions about their medications or long-term health conditions.
“Patients can ask to see us if they’re taking several medicines, have concerns about side effects, feel their medication isn’t working as expected, or would like to better understand why they’re taking a particular medicine.”
Appointments can usually be arranged by contacting your GP practice and asking to speak to the pharmacy team.
What Happens During a Medication Review?
One of the most common services provided by GP Practice Pharmacists is a medication review.
During a medication review, patients have an opportunity to discuss their medicines in detail, ask questions and raise any concerns they may have about their treatment.
The pharmacist will review each medication, discuss why it has been prescribed, assess how well it is working and explore whether there are any unwanted side effects or difficulties taking it.
Where appropriate, pharmacists may also carry out additional checks, such as monitoring blood pressure or reviewing test results.
“A medication review is an opportunity for patients to sit down with us and talk through their medicines.
“We’ll discuss what each medicine is for, whether it’s working, any side effects they’re experiencing and answer any questions they may have.”
How Does This Benefit Patients?
The overall aim of the service is to help patients feel confident about their medicines and achieve the best possible outcomes from their treatment.
Medication reviews can help identify opportunities to simplify treatment plans, reduce side effects, minimise unnecessary medication and reduce medicines waste.
By working closely with patients, GP Practice Pharmacists can support people to manage long-term conditions more effectively and make informed decisions about their healthcare.
“Ultimately, it’s about improving health outcomes and helping people get the most from their medicines.”
Here to Help
If you have questions about your medicines, are experiencing side effects, or would like to better understand your treatment, support may be available through the pharmacy team at your GP practice.

Engagement Survey on the priorities for the Draft Strategy for Palliative Care and Care around Dying for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC), in partnership with local HSCPs and Hospices, have been working on the development of a draft strategy on palliative care and care around dying for the NHS GGC area. Throughout 2025 we worked with local communities to hear about their lived experience of palliative care. This previous engagement helped inform this strategy including the key priorities to deliver. We would like to hear from you to check if we have got the right priorities for our vision from your perspective.
The 5 key priorities for delivering palliative care and care around dying for all services are all equally important and are listed below in no particular order.
Priority 1: Early identification and person-centred care planning of palliative care needs
Priority 2: Equitable, coordinated, responsive care across all settings
Priority 3: Enhance access to information, digital inclusion and community empowerment around palliative care
Priority 4: Ensure accessible and compassionate bereavement support for all
Priority 5: Supported, skilled and resilient workforce
We would like to hear from you to check if these priorities are clear, easy to understand and include everything they need to.
The information you provide will help us develop the vision for palliative care and care around dying within NHS GGC.
All information you share will be treated sensitively, anonymised and stored securely.
Palliative care information sheet with background on strategy development, key facts and information on the engagement process. Information sheet (PDF or Word versions available)
GP practices across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde are being moved to a new clinical IT system, Vision 3, as part of the national GP IT re-provisioning programme across Scotland that will see all practices across Scotland using the same GP IT system.
This is a major change to the core computer system used by GP practices, rather than a routine software update. The system is used throughout the working day by clinical and administrative staff to support patient consultations, appointments, prescriptions, test results, correspondence and other essential practice processes.
What will this mean for patients?
There is likely to be a period of significant disruption around the time your practice changes system.
The planned period of greatest restriction is approximately 10 days around the migration date. During this period the practice may need to substantially reduce the number of routine appointments and non-urgent services it can provide.
However, migration is not complete simply when the new system goes live. Practices may continue to experience reduced efficiency and operational capacity during the following weeks and, in some cases, for approximately 2–3 months, while staff become familiar with the new system, practice workflows are re-established and any technical or migration issues are identified and resolved.
The extent of the impact will vary between practices. During the migration and recovery period, patients may experience:
fewer routine appointments being available than usual
longer waits for some routine appointments and services
delays in processing non-urgent requests, letters, forms and other administrative work
temporary changes to online services, including repeat prescription ordering and appointment booking
prescriptions or other routine requests taking longer to process than usual
Your GP practice will continue to assess and prioritise urgent clinical needs throughout this period. Patients should not delay seeking medical advice if they have a new or worsening health problem. However, because practice capacity may be reduced, the way in which care is provided or the time taken to deal with less urgent matters may differ from normal.
Why can the effects continue after the changeover?
Moving from one clinical system to another affects many of the processes used by a GP practice every day.
In addition to learning a different system, practices may need to check transferred information, re-establish clinical and administrative workflows and resolve technical or configuration issues which only become apparent once the new system is being used in normal day-to-day practice.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, the national GP IT programme and the system supplier provide support to practices during and after migration.
What is not changing?
You will remain registered with your GP practice and your medical record will be securely transferred to the new system.
Practices will continue to provide essential GP services and will prioritise patients according to clinical need. However, patients should be aware that overall practice capacity may be reduced temporarily during both the migration itself and the subsequent recovery period.
What can patients do?
If your practice has advised you that it is approaching migration, please follow any specific information it provides.
Where possible, order regular repeat prescriptions in good time before the migration period. Continue to attend booked appointments unless your practice advises otherwise.
Please continue to contact your practice if you have an urgent or important health concern. Do not avoid seeking necessary medical care because the practice is changing computer systems.
For routine or administrative matters, please be aware that your practice may take longer than usual to respond during the migration and recovery period.
We recognise that this may cause inconvenience for patients and appreciate your understanding while GP practices undertake this significant national IT change.
When will I know if my GP Practice is undergoing this change?
GP Practices will look to contact all patients in advance with as much notice as possible. This page will also list the impacted GP Practices below.
If you have not been contacted or informed of any impact, this change has already happened or will happen in the future.
