Volunteers have been deployed in support of Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks who have been working hard after large areas lost electrical supplies during the storm.

Volunteers have carried out welfare checks on people on the Priority Services Register and delivered food, hot water and winter kits. 

Over the last few weeks we have been delivering training to companies in Skye and Lochalsh.

Delivery of these certificated courses allows organisations to meet their statutory requirements in regard to workplace first aid and provides our team with income to support team development, equipment provision, training and to meet the ongoing costs of running the team.

Thanks to the organisations involved for choosing us as your provider and to our training team who’s hard work is appreciated by the wider team.

This weekend saw a deployment of volunteers in support of the Loch Ness marathon & Festival of Running.  The team, our largest ever deployed, included control room operators, first aiders, cycle responders and clinical and admin support. The team worked at points along the route and at our Event treatment centre pictured above!

We currently have several spaces available for the First aid at Work (& Cat. Haemorrhage) available to members of the public. This training is being held in Inverness with face to face training on the 24th & 25th July.
