Maintenance work is being carried out at Raigmore Hospital which may cause disruption for traffic in and around the hospital site on Sunday 12th October 2025.

As part of work being done to replace air handling units in pharmacy, a crane lift will take place at the back of the hospital past the estates and mortuary departments.

The road will be closed between 7am and mid-day on 12th October, and measures will be in place to re-direct unessential traffic. This may mean some emergency service vehicles will travel against the one way system in operation in that area of the hospital.

We would encourage patients and staff to follow the diversions in place and to be extra vigilant when walking around the back of the hospital during this time.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Are you a rural trans or non-binary person in Highland or Argyll and Bute?

NHS Highland Public Health have partnered with Scottish Trans to conduct trans-led research about trans and non-binary people’s experiences of GP practices in remote and rural Scotland. This project has been funded by the NHS National Centre for Remote and Rural Health and Care. We want to ask trans people and their GPs about experiences to understand what helps and doesn’t help trans people get the best care they can.

Did you know breast screening prevents around 1,300 deaths in the UK each year? The screening is always carried out by a female mammographer, and the appointment only takes around 10 minutes.

Five days on from Storm Amy and many across Highland are still without power.

In times like these, a simple knock on the door can make all the difference. Check in on your neighbours – whether they're young families, elderly residents, or living alone. A hot cuppa, a charged phone, or just knowing someone cares can mean everything.

We're stronger together. Let's look out for each other. 💙
