We just wanted to share a piece of good news we received this morning from Glasgow Airport Management. After many months of our Group trying to get a dedicated Patient Lounge (like the one enjoyed by patients travelling through Aberdeen) patients returning to Islay can use the ‘Baby Room’ at Gate 16!
This will enable those just released from hospital or seriously ill/infirm patients to sit in comfort with a bit of privacy whilst they await the return flight. Although it’s not the dedicated Patient Lounge Feis Ile had also worked hard to secure previously, it is a huge improvement from hard plastic chairs! Nursing Mothers still have a private lounge within the room to breastfeed.
Obviously, patients with contagious illnesses should not use it as they could cause harm to those with compromised immune systems who are meant to be avoiding public spaces, as well as to Mums and babies.
This is just one example of our Group working hard to make a real difference to Patients living on our remote Islands.
