| 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 Officer, Shirley Noble, summaries "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 Books, Leaflets, Videos, Training Packs, Games and Equipment. Please explore the site
using the scrolling menu (left) or contact
us if you would like further information. Resources can be collected from Highland NHS Board, Assynt House, Beechwood Park, Inverness or sent via internal mail to your nearest hospital or GP surgery. Resources can be returned in the same way i.e. GP Surgery/Hospital - marking the package clearly for Health Information and Resources Service, Highland NHS Board or by handing them back to us at the Board. Terms and Conditions
of Hire can be found on the Client
Registration Form. If you have not registered already, please
do so by printing out the registration
form filling your details and sending the library. The Information
and Resources Service does not forward this information to any other
organistation or company.
The maximum order of each leaflet is 25 unless otherwise agreed with the Health Information and Resources Officer. Please do not request more than 2 leaflet / poster orders per calendar month. Leaflets can be collected from Highland NHS Board, Assynt House, Beechwood Park, Inverness or sent via internal mail to your nearest hospital or GP surgery. A single sample of each leaflet is held on file at the Health Information and Resources Service, Beechwood Park, Inverness, so that visitors to the Department may look through them before ordering.
