Tender description

Power of Attorney — Advertising Campaign Glasgow City Council (GCC) successfully applied for funding from the Change Fund to run an initial PoA Campaign for Glasgow City, and NHSGGC worked jointly with GCC to manage the campaign. Other key organisations involved included TC Young Solicitors, Alzheimer Scotland and Scottish Care. The campaign was titled “Start the Conversation” and raised awareness amongst the general public, and our staff, about the importance of putting a power of attorney in place as a safeguard against future incapacity. Most people are unaware that if they lose the capacity to make decisions for themselves, for whatever reason, no-one can act for them unless either appointed by the courts (a long and expensive process) or given powers to act. Powers can only be granted by someone who has capacity.
