Humans of Scotland – Stories from people in Scotland during COVID-19
- Area of Work: Humans of Scotland
- Type: Resource
A collection of stories from people across the country highlighting the realties people faced in the first months of the pandemic.
A second collection of stories from across Scotland has been published by the ALLIANCE highlighting the realities faced by disabled people, people living with long term conditions and unpaid carers during the pandemic. Also capturing stories from staff working in the NHS in Scotland and in the country’s health and social care third sector, the new book creates a permanent record of life during COVID-19.
The 34 stories shared in the collection put a spotlight on the fact that there were many people disproportionately affected by the pandemic. People who contributed their experiences share on the difficulties faced by those living with sensory loss in accessing services, the impact on people whose medical treatments were cancelled or delayed as a result of COVID-19 and the impact on unpaid carers who provided more support when essential social care and other services were withdrawn. The commitment and dedication of health and social care staff is clearly present in the pieces shared by nurses, Allied Health Professionals and home care workers.
