They only went and won! ๐Ÿ†

Huge congratulations to the National Treatment Centre Highlands Table Cafรฉ who won Best Integrated Cafรฉ at the Scottish Business Awards in Inverness last night.

This small but mighty team has become a favourite with staff, patients, visitors and local dogโ€‘walkers, thanks to their warmth and genuine care and we couldn't be happier that they have been recognised in this way.

Congratulations again to the team and thank you to all for your support ๐Ÿซถ

This year, Blood Donor Week runs from 8-14 June, coinciding with the build up to Scotlandโ€™s first World Cup match in 28 years.

We know that major football moments can impact donation levels. Following Scotlandโ€™s World Cup qualification match, blood donation attendance fell by over 20%. With fewer than 2% of the population currently active donors, and demand expected to rise over the summer, we urgently need donors to step forward now.

Make an appointment to donate

Book in to give blood or plasma during the World Cup period, at www.scotblood.co.uk โ€“ and encourage your staff, team, friends and followers to do the same.

Please โ€“ pitch in and help out!

Itโ€™s , and Arlene Johnstone (Chief Officer for Highland Health and Social Care Partnership) has this message of thanks and recognition for all unpaid carers.

This yearโ€™s theme is โ€œBuilding Carer Friendly Communitiesโ€. To help make that happen, all NHS Highland staff are encouraged to complete this questionnaire, whether you are an unpaid carer or not:

More information on Unpaid Carers is also on our intranet, including links to training and a toolkit to download and share.

A quick reminder as we head towards the World Cup bank holiday Monday 15 June:

๐Ÿ•’ GP and pharmacy opening hours may vary, so itโ€™s a good idea to check local arrangements
๐Ÿ’Š If you take regular medication, please collect any repeat prescriptions ahead of the break.
๐Ÿš‘ If you do run out, an emergency supply may still be possible.
๐Ÿ  Keeping some basic medicines at home can be really helpful over a holiday weekend.
๐Ÿ” Not feeling your best? NHS Inform has trusted advice to help you decide what to do next.
