🟣 | Our Craiglockhart campus is glowing purple tonight in support of #HPVAwareness. Today saw the International Papillomavirus Conference take place in Edinburgh, with #EdNapier academic @MaloneEM involved with the development and delivery of legacy activities associated with the event. Evidence shows the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine helps protect people from HPV-related cancers. This vaccine is currently offered to every S1 pupil in Scotland.

@TommySheppard @theSNP @eastsnp Thank you to the various members of the team who helped me as a constituent over the years. Always professional, efficient, friendly and kind.

That’s the closing ceremony finished as we hand back the keys of the Porty office. Lovely to see those who’ve worked here over the last nine years come along for a wee swally. Easily the best constituency office team in the world. @theSNP @eastsnp
