The Met Office has extended its Yellow Weather Warning for snow and ice from 8pm tonight (Thurs) till around noon tomorrow (Fri). Wintry showers will be bringing patchy ice and some fresh snow accumulations. We also expect further scattered showers leading into the weekend and the region will face sub-zero temperatures over the coming days which will create further icy conditions.
Vaccination Clinics:
Banchory, Garioch, Peterhead and Stonehaven Vaccination Centres will be open tomorrow (Friday 9th January) from 09.15-15:00.
Huntly Vaccination Centre will be running a Childhood Immunisation Clinic only.
Fraserburgh, Huntly and Macduff Centres will be closed and we will be contacting people to re-schedule appointments.
The Shingles/Pneumococcal clinic being held at Turriff Hospital has been cancelled and our team will be in contact with these patients to reschedule.
Our GP practices are working hard to provide as many services and appointments as they are able. Practices have moved many appointments to telephone or online to make sure that people who need care get it.
Community Pharmacies are working to ensure continuity of care and Pharmacy First services are operating. Some Pharmacies may need to adapt opening hours so please keep an eye out for updates locally.
Our amazing Community Nursing, Home Care and ARCH teams have been going above and beyond to ensure that people get the care and support they need.
Across our Care Homes, Community Hospitals, Very Sheltered Housing Complexes and Learning Disability Residential services, staff have been absolutely amazing and have been staying onsite to make sure residents and patients get the care they need.
Special mention to our prison and custody healthcare teams who have been stain locally so that they are able to get into work!
Across our Allied Health Professionals, Social Workers and everyone else in the Partnership, we have been completely blown away by everyone's willingness to be flexible and work in places and services that they wouldn't normally.
Finally a huge thank you to all the Council staff, Framers, contractors and volunteers that have been out clearing roads and care parks to support is all to do what we need to do. 🥰
