| 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.

using the scrolling menu (left) or contact
us if you would like further information.

Health Information 
We provide free, friendly
and confidential health information which is available to everyone.
You can call us on Lo-call 0845 757 3077 between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday.
Campaigns 
We support several health
campaigns per year. The materials for the campaigns are produced
by the relevant agencies therefore we are not usually aware what
the materials consist of until near the event. We will endeavour
to notify you of what the materials are by letter if time allows.
You are most welcome to compliment the materials using leaflets
from our stock.
The Latest
News window is a good place to find information on current campaigns.

on Campaigns, please download our current
campaigns information.
