2008April 12 Are you really listening?Through the ‘Mosaics of Meaning’ research in Glasgow (Glasgow Anti Stigma Partnership 2007) it was found that the stigma associated with mental health problems among black and minority ethnic (BME) communities have a major impact on people’s wellbeing.

As part of ‘Mosaics of Meaning’ a story telling project was set up and has since produced a booklet entitled ‘Are you really listening?’ which contains stories about stigma, discrimination and resilience towards mental health problems among black and minority ethnic communities in Scotland.

2008April 10 Sexual Health Services Final StandardsScotland’s national sexual health and relationships strategy, Respect and Responsibility: Strategy and Action Plan for Improving Sexual Health, was launched by the Scottish Government in January 2005.

A range of actions were set out in Respect and Responsibility to enhance sexual health promotion, education, and service provision. NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NSH QIS) was tasked with taking forward the development of clinical standards in relation to sexual health services provided by or secured by NHSScotland.

The draft standards were published in July 2007 and consultation took place between July and November 2007. Following extensive multi-professional and public input, the draft standards were revised in light of this consultation prior to the publication of the final standards for Sexual Health Services in March 2008.

2008March 4 Diabetes National Overview - follow-up reportNHS QIS and Diabetes UK Scotland first worked together in 2000 when NHS QIS developed clinical standards for the care of people with diabetes.

Performance against these standards was then reviewed in every NHS board in Scotland and Diabetes UK Scotland took part in many of the review visits.

In 2004, NHS QIS published the first ever comprehensive review of diabetes services across NHSScotland and pledged to review these services again in 2007.

This report builds on that work, updating the profile of Scotland’s diabetes services and this time, taking into account the experience of people living with diabetes.

It is the result of effective partnership working: as NHS QIS gathered information and data from service providers, Diabetes UK Scotland, in a parallel process, focused on the voices of people living with diabetes.
