ConGRADulations to clients of the Family Nurse Partnership NHS Ayrshire & Arran recently held a graduation event to recognise and celebrate
clients’ commitment and completion of the Family Nurse Partnership programme.
The event provided the opportunity to celebrate clients’ achievements on the start of
their journey as parents. Over the past two and a half years, clients on the
programme have learned about their pregnancy and how to care for themselves and
their baby, supporting their baby to grow, develop and learn to work towards a better
future for themselves and their family.
On the day, 34 clients and their families attended the event, along with
representatives from NHS Ayrshire & Arran, North Ayrshire Health and Social Care
Partnership, North Ayrshire Council and the Scottish Government.
The event was opened by Lesley Bowie, Vice Chair of Ayrshire and Arran NHS
Board and the graduation certificates were presented by Professor Hazel Borland,
Nurse Director for NHS Ayrshire & Arran. Entertainment was provided by Castlepark
Nursery and School, followed by fun and games with the Family Nurse Partnership
nurses.
Stephen Brown, Head of Children, Families and Criminal Justice was delighted to
hear from some of the mums. The comments included: [My Family Nurse] “Was
always there when I needed her”, “she listened and supported me through exams
and college”, “helped me gain self-confidence and self-belief to be able to be the
best mum I can be.”
Professor Hazel Borland, Nurse Director, NHS Ayrshire & Arran, commented: “I was
privileged to be part of such a special day. The support that the Family Nurse
Partnership provides has been vital in giving these young mums and their babies the
