Before you head off to a football match, festival or other busy events this summer, make sure you’ve received both doses of the MMR vaccine. It’s important to also catch up on any other missed vaccines if you need to.

💬 This week’s comes from a patient who shared their experience of care received in the Day Surgery Unit.

“I attended the Day Surgery Unit for breast surgery and received excellent, compassionate care throughout. The staff were kind and reassuring, allowing my husband to stay with me beforehand and clearly explaining each step.

Dr McIlwheny, the anaesthetist, and the nursing team — especially Fleur — made a stressful experience much easier through their professionalism and support.”

This week, we shared a video featuring some of our volunteers, who spoke about why they give their time and what they enjoy about volunteering.

The project to create Lanarkshire’s new hospital has revealed plans to harness the power of the sun to help meet its sustainability goals.

The new University Hospital Monklands at Wester Moffat in Airdrie will have a large “solar farm” producing electricity to power Scotland’s first hospital to be net zero carbon for construction and operation.

Pic – a new, updated design image showing a view to the hospital main entrance. The car park in front illustrates only a small area of total parking capacity, which will be double that of the existing hospital.
