NHS Highland is the largest and most sparsely populated health board in Scotland covering 41% of the country’s landmass. The scenery and quality of living is outstanding, with the region stretching from Wick in the north, home to Caithness General Hospital, to Campbeltown in the beautiful south west area of Argyll and Bute. We provide health and social care services to our resident population of 320,000. NHS Highland’s diverse area includes Inverness, one of the fastest growing cities in Western Europe, as 24 populated islands. Because of our geography, we provide - with excellent clinical outcomes - a far wider range of services than expected for our size. The breadth and depth of clinical expertise is significant, and as well as having many specialist skills, we have developed exceptional generalist skills. Some of the challenges we face have forced us to be innovative and develop a culture of continually adapting to change.
