⏳ Waiting for treatment or support?
Taking small steps now can help ease symptoms, boost recovery, and support your overall wellbeing.

From eating well to managing stress, there’s lots you can do while you wait.

Today, we pause to remember all those who served — and those who gave their lives — in conflicts past and present.

We especially honour the medical teams who worked tirelessly to care for the wounded, often in the most challenging of conditions.

Here in Orkney, many local men and women supported the war effort, both at home and overseas — including in vital roles as doctors, nurses, medics and carers.

We remember them with pride and gratitude.
