Vaccines continue to be the most effective way to protect people from serious, life-threatening diseases. Thanks to vaccines, diseases like smallpox, polio, and tetanus, that were once responsible for millions of deaths and disabilities, have been eliminated or drastically
reduced.

Vaccines are the safest and most effective way to protect your child. Look out for their appointment letters in the post.

What a brilliant day at the Caithness Jobs Event! ☺️

We had so many great conversations with folk interested in joining our NHS Highland team. From Care at Home and nursing roles to occupational therapy, facilities, physiotherapy and care homes - there really is something for everyone.

One of the best bits of the day was chatting to people who were genuinely surprised by just how many different career paths there are in the NHS.

Having our team together in one space was fantastic - we could support each other with questions and give people a real flavour of what working with us is actually like.

If you came along to see us, thanks for stopping by. And if you missed us but fancy a career with NHS Highland, check out what's available: https://www.nhshighland.scot.nhs.uk/careers/current-vacancies-and-roles/

CPR moments stay with people. They can be intense, emotional, and hard to forget, whether you stepped in to give CPR or watched someone else do it. Those memories can linger for a long time, and it’s completely normal to feel that way.

Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland offers a free, confidential Advice Line where trained healthcare professionals are ready to listen, support you, and help you make sense of what happened. You don’t have to work through those feelings on your own.
