Today saw the public launch of @scotgovhealth new Framework for Spiritual Care by @jenni_minto hosted by @nhsfife and @FifeSpiritual. Today was the culmination of a lot of hard work reminding us that laughter and tears are part of what makes us human and must be at the ❤️ of care
Public Health Minister @jenni_minto visited @nhsfife for the public launch of the new Spiritual Care framework, which puts spiritual care at the heart of care to help all who need it.
Big thanks to @Scotambservice and @NHSTayside for looking after mum in law so well over the past few days. Lots of us know all too well how tough the NHS is finding things just now, but it's still getting on with saving lives, day in, day out.
An amazing couple whose beautiful daughter it was a privilege to meet. Held in our Hearts are a fantastic charity who do wonderful things. Good luck to Stevie and Craig.
@AndyGillies9 Your daughter's challenge is one lots of us could do with hearing/heeding. Thank you, and thank her. And what better incentive to find ways to meet up with the real you 🙂
