Cerebral Palsy Scotland

Gillian Craig

Gill is a Director in Barclays Bank based in Glasgow, supporting operational risk and control within the Service Company. She lives with her family in Lenzie and is a full-time working mum of two, balancing the juggles of day-to-day life. Gill first found Cerebral Palsy Scotland after her daughter suffered a stroke during her birth which led to an early diagnosis of hemiplegic cerebral palsy. The family then became part of Bobath Babies until her daughter “graduated” from the group.

Gill aims to combine her first-hand experience of the charity with her business skillset to support growth and challenge where appropriate and therefore further the aims and objectives of the charity. She is also keen to give something back to Cerebral Palsy Scotland, teaching her daughters the importance of charitable work and inclusion.

I graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2006 with a degree in Medicine.  I took a year out of my medical studies to gain a pharmacology degree in 2004.  After 10 years of training in hospital medicine I became a consultant in Geriatric Medicine and General Internal Medicine in 2015.  I work in Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Stobhill Hospital and The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Hospital.  I have a specialist interest in falls and developing cancer services for Older Adults. I have worked alongside MacMillan Cancer Support and Maggies Centres.  I am the Secretary of the British Geriatrics Society Oncogeriatric Specialist Interest Group.  I am a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Glasgow and I am the Physician Representative on their Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Group.  I am an Honorary Clinical Lecturer, subdean and a former EDI lead at the University of Glasgow Medical School.

I have been a trustee for Cerebral Palsy Scotland since 2019. I have cerebral palsy, in the form of Spastic Diplegia. I was involved with Cerebral Palsy Scotland (then Bobath Scotland) as a little girl as my parents were involved in fundraising for the charity since I got Bobath therapy as a child.  It is great to be back involved now I am an adult.

I enjoy open water swimming – swimming the length of Loch Lubnaig for Cerebral Palsy Scotland in 2018.  I also have a sausage dog called Jarvis – named after the lead singer of my favourite band, Pulp.
