Smile for a selfie photo

Selfies have become a part of modern day life for people all over the world.

Now health and social care staff in North Lanarkshire have marked the beginning of a new era – by creating a unique gallery of the smartphone self portraits.

Janice Hewitt, Chief Accountable Officer of Health and Social Care North Lanarkshire, says the selfie gallery depicts a spectrum of services and organisations - all united by common purpose.

“Just before integration’s launch I had the privilege of meeting, speaking and listening to staff and partners across North Lanarkshire in a series of staff events.

“As always, I was struck by the dedication and commitment across the broad range of teams and services making up Health and Social Care North Lanarkshire.

“During these meetings, we invited staff and partners to submit their selfies to showcase the spirit at the heart of health and care services here.

“The resulting gallery captures that diversity and energy.

“Crucially, the selfies also denote that we’re working together for a shared purpose - to create safer, healthier, independent lives for the people of North Lanarkshire.”
