@JimThom61540525 And more mental health support and better access to GP services. Far too many barriers.

Richard Lowrie talking about the pilot #PHOENix RCT for people experiencing #homelessness #SAPC2023 ⁦@gppcglasgow⁩ https://t.co/ykMm6OAD0G - methods described here

@FrancesMair @gppcglasgow A method that worked. So need this service

@janemoir7 @ashley22young @nataliajane4 @NHSGGCPharmacy @SimonCommScot @MarieTrust @KateStock3 Such a shame that despite winning this plus all the hard work we put in that a much needed service is no more.

@janemoir7 @nataliajane4 @NHSGGCPharmacy @SimonCommScot @MarieTrust @KateStock3 Thank you, but without the medical intervention the people we support are suffering 😢

Richard Lowrie wins The St Mungo Medal in recognition of his (and his team's 😀) efforts in addressing homeless health inequalities. Well deserved. 👏 @nataliajane4 @NHSGGCPharmacy @SimonCommScot @MarieTrust @KateStock3 @ailsa6918

@AmpersandIZ @Chitgrrl @CallMeMoNow @ameliagentleman The men come over first, it's far easier to bring their wife and children once they have leave to remain. Once the guys come to the UK they move around a lot until they are stable. Chances are he would have used every penny they had to get him here and likely in a dangerous way.

[ailsa @ailsa6918]

@SteeleWez @Karin_Goodwin @deependgp @FerretScot @heraldscotland Easier said than done when you throw a few other factors into the mix. Mainstream GP's just doesn't work for our guys.

[Karin Goodwin @Karin_Goodwin]

These type of closures - practices serving the most vulnerable - are what @deependgp's warned of in @FerretScot's GPs in crisis investigation with @heraldscotland last month. Really disastrous for homeless people in Glasgow if this goes ahead. https://t.co/bhCwMxWNOU
