🚶‍➡️Exercise & Moving More
We don’t believe in all or nothing resolutions, but 2026 could be a great time to gently build more movement into your routine, whatever that looks like for you. A short walk, a stretch, a dance in the kitchen… it all counts.

🚶‍♀️‍➡️Small steps add up to big changes.

The flu vaccine is working well this winter! 💉

New data shows the flu vaccine is helping to protect many people from ending up in hospital from flu. It is particularly effective for children getting the nasal spray.

With flu circulating in our Highland communities, it's not too late to get vaccinated. Around half of Highland children and two-thirds of older adults have had their jab, but we'd love to see more people protected.

Getting your flu vaccine is simple – visit our website for details of a clinic near you. It's free for eligible groups and could save you from a nasty bout of flu this winter.

Protect yourself and your loved ones - get your flu jab today.

The team in our Oncology and Haematology Chemotherapy Unit at Raigmore Hospital would like to offer heartfelt thanks to Lynne Clark for her continuing support and generous donations over the years.

Elizangela Robertson, Senior Charge Nurse said: "Her kindness has gone far beyond what could ever be expected. Through the many donations throughout the year, she has consistently helped ensure that our patients are comfortable, cared for, and supported during what can be a very anxious and challenging time in their lives. From providing biscuits, juice, tea and coffee, to donating staff chairs, a television for the treatment room, portable heaters - I could go on. Every contribution has been made with thought, compassion, and genuine care.

"Lynne and her family always go above and beyond to make sure our patients are well looked after, no matter what is needed, and it is all purely out of the goodness of her heart. Her generosity has had a lasting and meaningful impact not only on our patients, who feel comforted and supported during treatment, but also on our staff, who feel valued and appreciated during difficult times.

"As a nurse in charge of the department, and on behalf of everyone in the Macmillan Unit, I would like to sincerely thank Lynne and her family for her ongoing support and unwavering generosity. Her kindness has truly made a difference, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she does to support our patients and our department."
