Significant pressure across the whole health and social care in Forth Valley. Please do what you can to help reduce the pressure by using all resources available to you and support your families to get home where clinically possible.
Our emergency department remains extremely busy and our staff are working exceptionally hard to care for patients. Find out more about where to get the right care in the right place at nhsinform.scot/rightcare

This National Campaign was so much fun to create content for! Felt great to apply principles of behaviour change to mental well-being- a topic so close to my heart 🤍
Amid the hustle, find moments of calm by following our tips for practicing mindfulness at work. A small pause can really change your perspective! For more information, have a look at our website - hpdp.gov.mt/hpu/mental_healt…

From theoretical application to real life situations, to new knowledge and insights into effective behaviour change, the @EUCIC1 Local Module on behaviour change in IPC has been a perfect refresher for me! So glad to see more folks appreciate the power of behavioural science 🤍👏🏻
