We have managed to secure the moorings boat to start the cage move back to the original position. This will begin next week, the boat is due to come in through the canal via Muirtown locks on Monday depending on time to navigate through to Loch Ness we may start on Monday afternoon, if not it will be Tuesday. Weather dependant we hope to complete works in approx. 5 days.

Apologies for the short notice but with Scottish canals being off season, it took time to secure the passage through the canal. Please circulate to all interested parties so they are aware of the planned activities. This has moved ahead of the original January date to try and resolve the issues created in a quicker time.

Please let me know if you need any more information etc.

Regards Archie.

There is currently a shortage of LGV Drivers across the country and the Highland Council are seeking to recruit to drivers posts for our Winter Maintenance programme.

The Council have been working on a recruitment campaign to attract LGV Winter Maintenance Drivers and have posts going ‘live’ today on My Jobs Scotland.   As part of the campaign to reach the potential candidates who are not on social media we hope to circulate posters locally to be put up in shops, community centres, etc.   Closing date for the posts is 13^th December 2021.

Could I ask if you would be able to assist in having the posters circulated around your local area. Your help would be most appreciated. 

I have attached the posters for each area we are targeting. 

Kind Regards

Please find information below about the Together We Care Strategy engagement, that was launched on Friday. Information about how the strategy will be developed, links to the survey and the other ways people can get involved are in the text and links below. 
Please feel free to share this with your friends, colleagues and anyone who may be interested.

Building a brighter future for health and care 2022-2027NHS Highland is developing a plan – Together We Care. This plan (or strategy) will be used to shape our approach over the next five years towards developing a sustainable and high-quality health care service by 2027.

We know the demand on our health and social care service is increasing and this is likely to continue. We need to make sure that our services can cope with this, now and in the future and are inviting you to help write this plan with us.

We want to pull together ideas from Highland’s population, workforce, and partners so that the strategy is written by the people of the Highlands, for the people of the Highlands.

Over the next few months, we will be reaching out and asking you to engage with us in lots of different ways. Executive members of the board will be visiting local communities and NHS services across NHS Highland to listen to your thoughts and ideas

You can also share your ideas and tell us what is important to you by completing an online survey at https://forms.office.com/r/519bjRi4Sb. Paper copies and alternative formats of the survey are available on request, by emailing us at  nhsh.listening@nhs.scot or writing to us Freepost RUAK-JGSH-TUUL, Clinical Governance Team, NHS Highland, Together We Care, Assynt House, NHS Highland, IV2 3BW.

We will keep everyone informed of where we will be and what people are telling us, so please keep your ears open to local radio, and your eyes on the local press and social media; they will be letting you know how the plan is progressing.

Follow us on our social media pages (Facebook / Twitter: @NHSHighland; Instagram: nhs_highland) to keep up to date or visit our website here.

We need you to talk to us now; without your input, ideas, and thoughts, we cannot create the Together We Care strategy.

Want to know more or to get involved? Please write to us at the freepost address above or email us at nhsh.listening@nhs.scot.
