Scottish hospital achieves first Bronze Catering Mark
Abstract
The Soil Association’s Food for Life Bronze Catering Mark has been awarded to Hairmyres Hospital of NHS Lanarkshire in recognition of caterer ISS Healthcare’s work at the hospital’s Courtyard restaurant.

The hospital is the first in Scotland to be awarded the accolade and the onsite team prepare and serve over 200 meals to staff, visitors and out patients each day.

Robert Murray, the onsite ISS Healthcare head chef, said: "I'm so proud of all our team. Of course it is fantastic to be the first hospital in Scotland to be awarded the Catering Mark Bronze award but more than that I am proud that my team serve the best quality meals we can to our customers."

All the fruit and vegetables used in meals and the salad bar are fresh and the team now offers a seasonal menu changing every three months. In addition the hospital sources its bread rolls and potato cakes from Magee's in Stirling as part of a commitment to source more products locally.
