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.
