Navigator Partnerships

Navigator aims to connect the people they support with agencies in their local community that can continue that support into the future. 

We work with a range of statutory organisations like the DWP, Housing, ASSIST and the NHS.

We also work with a wide range of third sector and voluntary organisations such as Venture Scotland, Rape Crisis Scotland, Scottish Women’s Aid, Shelter, the Simon Community, 6VT, AA, Victim Support Scotland and a wide range of other amazing partners.

This is what our partners have to say about the service

Navigator is very much based in the hospital and that’s where they get their work from, and it’s a very positive move because it’s another way of engaging the clients we wouldn’t normally have contact with and not be able to support them in the same way.
Domestic Abuse Organisation
You know, it’s a real opportunity that had been missed in the past and definitely forward-thinking as far as that’s concerned.
Partner Organisation
Fantastic service to try and catch people at that vulnerable stage....it's about giving people options and being positive role models
Venture Scotland
Patients are often discharged without any input on social factors. The Navigators play a key role in changing their social circumstances and have contact with resources we just don't have or have time to implement
ED Nurse, Glasgow
This is probably the mot valuable non-medical change in the management of A&E in the whole course of my career.
Donogh MaguireED Consultant, Glasgow
The patient stories the Navigators shared really highlighted how much of an essential service Navigator is... the difference they have made to some of our most vulnerable patient's lives is truly phenomenal.
