Meanwhile, a specialist, nursing-led health team, has been stepped up to support the Ukrainian guests when they arrive in Glasgow. Stewart Curtis, the nurse team leader, who manages the service, said:"We offered our support, given that Glasgow is one of the hubs for the super sponsor scheme, and we have significant experience in supporting asylum-seeking communities.
"While they will never forget what has happened, we hope we can alleviate some of the stress associated with their healthcare needs."The vast majority are women and children, given Ukraine's ban on men of fighting age leaving the country. Stewart added:"The guys have stepped up to the mark. The workload has essentially doubled, and while there has been extra support, the response has been phenomenal, and I can't thank them enough – they've stepped up to the challenge.
