  • Submitted by: Anas Sarwar, Glasgow, Scottish Labour.
  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 19 June 2018
  • Motion reference: S5M-12873

That the Parliament congratulates the team at Crail Medical Practice, which is in the Parkhead area of Glasgow, on being named Team of the Year at the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Alliance awards; notes that it works to support its patients to make different lifestyle choices to help them build a more positive future in an area that has higher than average levels of heart and circulatory disease and significantly lower than average life expectancy; acknowledges that the practice has adopted new approaches to managing long-term conditions, such as by offering a significant emphasis on increasing physical activity, including a weekly walking group; believes that its efforts have resulted in improvements in confidence and social interaction in patients, as well as increasing their energy levels and helping them to participate more in exercise, and commends the team on aiming to ensure that people in the area receive the best possible care in a way that breaks down barriers.
