Urgent care model in place for north Skye

NHS Highland submitted a plan to deliver 24/7 urgent care to the Scottish government in late May.

Nurse director Louise Bussell said: “The model, external has been designed to make the best use of resources across our health care system.

“We will be developing the service over the coming months as we build and develop our teams.”

She added: “The place which care is delivered will vary depending on clinical need but this model provides assurance that people will be able to access all aspects of unscheduled care in a timely way based on the presenting need.”

Anyone requiring urgent care has been asked to call NHS 24 on 111.

Ms Bussell said: “This has been a significant piece of work involving colleagues across NHS Highland and the Scottish Ambulance Service, as well as from community groups and local people.”

The Scottish government defines urgent care as a condition or injury which is not considered to be imminently life threatening but could worsen if left untreated.

NHS Highland said it had more information on urgent and emergency care on its website, external.
