Director of Public Health's Annual Report Looks at the Challenges Ahead
Team Update Issue 74 November 2010 www.nhshighland.scot.nhs.uk Director of Public Health’s Annual Report looks at the challenges ahead Alcohol misuse, smoking and obesity are major public health challenges facing NHS Highland, according to the first annual report from its Director of Public Health. Dr Margaret Somerville’s report also highlights the increasing number of older people in the local population and the corresponding increase in the number of people living with long- term conditions, such as hypertension, depression, asthma, coronary heart disease, diabetes and cancer. And it looks at lessons learned from last year’s influenza pandemic and explains that a major challenge for the future will be preparing and planning for climate change. Dr Somerville, (pictured top right) who took up the post in February of this year, points out that the health service, along with the rest of the public sector, still has to deal with these issues at a time when their budget is under increasing pressure. She said: “This report reflects my own observations about the health of people in NHS Highland in my first few months in post and the major challenges that lie ahead if we are to continue improving health and closing the gap between the best and worst off in society. “With the prospect of real cuts in spending on health over the next few years, it is more important than ever that we do not lose sight of the long-term health improvement work through which we hope to contain and reduce health service use and cost.” Dr Somerville explained that the population of NHS Highland had increased by more than 5% over the last 10 years and was predicted to increase by a further 10% over the next 20 years, with the number of people aged over 75 more than doubling in the same period. -

Remember Those From Whom You Came Newsletter Of The Clan MacAlpine Society The Worldwide Organization For MacAlpines 2nd Quarter 2020 ~ Volume 48 Commander’s News “The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley” . Robert Burns We all share the distress of loss of life, the economic shutdown, loss of employment, feelings of isolation, disruption of vacation and travel plans and the many, many unknowns that are in front of us. I might make a suggestion during this time of isolation. Post your favorite snapshot of Scotland to our FB page, or make your favorite Scottish recipe (mine is crannachan) and share it with us. Have a dram of whisky. Listen to some Scottish CD's (New Zealand’s Steve MacDonald’s Sons of Somerled would be my choice or Patricia Roberts from Stirling, or Tartan Chillout). Watch a Scottish movie, Local Hero is a great one, if you have Netflix, a couple of episodes of Still Game will get you hooked. Research that ancestor that has been a roadblock, get your DNA tested. Learn a few phrases in Scots Gaelic, (Duolingo does a nice job), write an article about your ancestor for the newsletter. With travel being discontinued, and all planned activities in peril, there is still much to be thank- ful for. Alba gu bràth Yours Aye, Commander: Michael T.
