| The Health Information and Resources Service offers a wide range of services. We provide Health Information, support numerous campaigns and have an extensive library. Whether you are keen to find out about healthy eating or stopping smoking, a specific disease or disability or how to contact a self-help or support group, the department's trained staff can either help or know someone who can. Health Information and Resources Manager, Shirley Noble, summarises "We very much welcome visits or calls from the general public anywhere in the Highlands, whatever their health concerns". The library offers a wide range of health related materials for loan, free of charge to everyone working or living within the Highlands. Materials consist of DVDs, Leaflets, Posters,Videos, Models, Training Packs, Games and Equipment. Please explore the site

Resources can be returned in the same way i.e. GP Surgery/Hospital - marking the package clearly for Health Information and Resources Service, NHS Highland or by handing them back to us at Assynt House.
