As many of you will know our own Dr Cormack is involved with the local Mountain Rescue Team.
We’d appreciate if you would take a moment to sign the petition in the post below or donate via the link if you can. Many thanks.

Arrochar Mountain Rescue Team need your help ❤️

Please take a moment to sign and share our petition 👉 https://c.org/zWPrDQxhw9

It’s a quick, free way to show funders and local government that this vital service matters, and that our community stands behind us.

Why are we asking?
Over the next 5 years, we need to fund two major projects:
- Replacing our aging vehicle fleet
- Extending our Mountain Rescue Post

If you, your friends, or family want to support what we do, you can also donate here 👉 https://www.justgiving.com/arrocharmrt/donate

Or could you help in another way?
- Organise fundraising through your workplace or community group
- Support us as a local business
- Provide materials or supplies for our building project

We know times are tough, but every bit of support makes a real difference.

Thank you 🙏

As flu cases rise across Highland and Argyll & Bute, we're taking extra precautions to keep everyone safe.

From this week, our staff in hospitals and community settings will be wearing masks as a protective measure.

We would also ask that visitors to our hospitals also wear masks which will be available on arrival.

This helps us protect our patients and keep our essential services running when you need them most.

Please only visit NHS Highland sites if you are symptom free and limit the number of visitors to relatives and loved ones to help keep everyone safe.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Dear patients, you may be aware that there is currently an outbreak of flu nationwide. For patient and staff protection our Infection Prevention and Control Team has advised us along with other Health Boards in Scotland to use fluid resistant surgical masks, similar to those used during COVID. If you are coming to the surgery for an appointment or to collect something, please wear a face mask if you can. We can provide you with a mask at the surgery should you require one. Thank you for your support, Arrochar Surgery.
