- comprehensive and constantly updated news;
- diary details of forthcoming events around Scotland;
- regularly updated features on new buildings and places;
- an education resource aimed at learners across all ages;
- articles, interviews and blogs reflecting the latest thoughts and developments happening across Scotland and beyond.

Dignified Spaces
Patient dignity is a central theme of the New South Glasgow Hospitals. Focused on approximately 70 rooms across the Hospitals, variously called quiet, relatives and family rooms, this project aims to create dignified spaces for waiting and the important conversations between staff, patients, and families/carers.
The selected artist, designer or team undertaking this project will develop a vital element of the Working Well, People and Spaces Therapeutic Design and Art Strategy for the New South Glasgow Hospitals.
