“It was worth the wait!” and “This is just fantastic!”, were just two of the comments received from clients, as they came in for a sneaky peek before the reopening of the new-look HIRS, which took place on Monday 2nd March.

Initial comments/feedback received from staff and clients on the new facility has been very positive – and individuals are encouraged to, as well as visiting our new-look service, also keep in touch via Facebook (HIRS Western Isles), and view the service and services available.

The new facility is still based in the Stornoway Health Centre, but is now located adjacent to the patient waiting area (previously the Broadbay Medical Practice reception).  Current opening hours are:

• Mon – 11am-12.45pm and 2pm-5pm
• Tues – 9.30am-12.45pm and 2pm-5pm
• Wed – 9.30am-12.45pm and 2pm-5pm
• Thur – 9.30am-12.45pm and 2pm-5pm
• Fri – 9.30am-12.45pm and 2pm-5pm

So whether you are looking for books to assist you with a further education course, teaching aids to deliver a health topic, picking up an information leaflet, contraceptives or a pregnancy test kit, or are just wanting to pop in and look at the service – all are welcome and we hope to see you soon!
