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.

Cases of measles are on the rise across the world, so we encourage everyone to make sure you and your family have received two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

Measles is highly infectious and can lead to serious medical complications. Having two doses of the MMR vaccine is the best way to be fully protected against measles.
