During this year’s Golf Week (9-16th July) held by Stornoway Golf Club, a wide range of NHSWI staff offered health advice and information to those taking part in the event.
Staff from Health Protection, Dental Department and the Health Promotion Department provided information on smoking and substance misuse, whilst promoting the importance of bowel screening, AAA screening, oral health, and general health and wellbeing advice.
Staff would like to thank Stornoway Golf Club for hosting them.
During last week’s Hebridean Celtic Festival, the Outer Hebrides Alcohol & Drug Partnership teamed up with Action for Children to hold a ‘Safe Space’ tent for festival-goers.
The ‘Safe Space’ tent, a regular feature at the Festival, offers an area for young people to receive emergency interventions and obtain information on local support services. Staff would like to thank Hebridean Celtic Festival organisers for their support.
With the large arrival of visitors attending last week’s Hebridean Celtic Festival, staff from the Outer Hebrides Alcohol & Drug Partnership and Health Promotion Department took to the seas offering substance misuse/safety advice and health and wellbeing information to travellers aboard the MV Loch Seaforth.
Staff would like to thank Caledonian MacBraynes for hosting them.

NHS Western Isles in conjunction with the Outer Hebrides Alcohol & Drug Partnership and Hebridean Celtic Festival have produced a poster to be advertised in this year’s Hebridean Celtic Festival publications.
The poster is aimed at raising awareness of remembering Heb Celt for the music, not the hangover – and promoting a safe and enjoyable experience for all those attending this year’s Festival.
