Important: Our hospitals are very busy today
Waiting times in A&E are much longer than usual. If you need urgent care that is not life-threatening, call NHS24 on 111. They will direct you to the most appropriate care. This might be a pharmacy, a phone or virtual appointment, a minor injuries unit or accident and emergency at one of our hospitals.
What we do
We provide physical and mental health services across the Highland and Argyll and Bute Council areas. In Highland, we also provide adult social care.
We deliver our services at hospitals, clinics, community facilities and in people’s homes - either in-person or online.

Know Who To Turn To
Get the treatment you need - it can sometimes be hard to know what to do if you're unwell:
- For help from a GP – use your GP surgery's website, use an online service or app, or call the surgery.
- For urgent medical help – use the NHS 111 online service, or call 111 if you're unable to get help online.
- For life-threatening emergencies – call 999 for an ambulance.
If you're advised to go to hospital, it's important to go.

During 2022 we engaged with our workforce to understand what they thought we should prioritise for health and care delivery over the five years to 2027. We also asked our partners, communities and wider population what they felt was important. We have turned these into ambitions and have created NHS Highland's 5 year strategy 2022-2027 - Together We Care.
