Improving Access to Latest Technology... the Geography of NHS Highland’S Area Means That Poor Network Signals Are a Daily Occurrence for Many Staff and Patients THE NHS HIGHLAND STAFF NEWSPAPER January 2016 HighNOVEMBERlights 2015 eHEALTH CHALLENGES Improving access to latest technology... THE geography of NHS Highland’s area means that poor network signals are a daily occurrence for many staff and patients. However, according to NHS Highland’s new head of eHealth Iain Ross, work is un- der way to improve connectivity for staff and patients, ensuring that they have more reli- able access to the services and systems they require. “One of the main challenges we face in Highland is the geography and areas where we have poor network signals,” Iain ex- plained. “However, we have pilot projects in place at present to trial how staff can utilise mobile access where there is no network.” Iain added: “The rapid development of technology has been a challenge. NHS sys- tems have had to be developed to support the technology that staff and patients are already becoming familiar with. We are look- ing at how we can make better use of satel- lite technology.

  • NHS Highland Board November 2019 Item 6 CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND
    NHS Highland Board November 2019 Item 6 CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTORS REPORT – EMERGING ISSUES AND UPDATES Report by Iain Stewart, Chief Executive The Board is asked to: • Note the updates provided in the report. Introduction from CEO The engagement strategy which is helping to shape the ‘Culture Fit for the Future’ has been moving ahead. Fiona Hogg will be giving a detailed update on our progress with our Culture Programme later in the agenda. I am pleased with the progress which is being made, it’s a long-term piece of work which needs careful research and planning to make sure we understand the problems we need to address. There are some key milestones being achieved and presented at this Board meeting. A governance structure is in place and our revised plans are ready to be agreed and rolled out. Many of the actions planned have been shaped by our ongoing engagement with the Board and with our colleagues across North Highland and Argyll & Bute and I’m delighted that our impending review in Argyll & Bute is going to provide further valuable insights and information. In terms of the cost improvement programme, we continue to make good progress, with the current level of identified opportunities valued at £29M which when adjusted for the likelihood of delivery reduces to £22M. Of particular note is that 80% of the forecast savings are recurrent so the savings gain will benefit future financial years. Workstreams are ensuring the remaining plans in this financial year are approved, that ideas are progressed to plans and that changes already implemented go on to deliver the expected savings.

  • Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015
    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation.

  • Community-Based Land Reform: Lessons from Scotland
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Land Use Policy ] (]]]]) ]]]–]]] www.elsevier.com/locate/landusepol Community-based land reform: Lessons from Scotland John Brydena,Ã, Charles Geislerb aUHI PolicyWeb, The Green House, Beechwood Park, Inverness IV2 3BL, UK bDepartment of Development Sociology, 237 Warren Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY Received 25 February 2005; received in revised form 19 September 2005; accepted 19 September 2005 Abstract In recent years, the Scottish Highlands have become the epicentre of a land reform significant for its strong embrace of culture and community. Close inspection of the Scottish land reform—wherein communities are granted the right to purchase lands to which they historically enjoyed only conditional access—leads to a series of questions about the relationship between land reform and community. We argue that most land reforms have paid insufficient attention to community strengthening as an end in itself and are the weaker for it. Drawing on insights from community-based natural resource management and local development, we offer qualified evidence suggesting that, as in the current Scottish case, community-centric land reform has a promising future. We trace the pre-reform history of community buy-outs in Scotland and pose various issues that must be addressed if Scotland’s land reform legislation is to succeed. r 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Land reform; Community; Buy-outs; Scotland Introduction The neglect of community in land reform planning is of much interest, given the widespread rush to incorporate Interest in land reform appears to be rekindling.

The board is asked to • Note the further progress made in the implementation of the Community Maternity Unit in Caithness • Note the progress made and proposal for future development of a Highland wide Hub and Spoke model of maternity & neonatal care in NHS Highland. 1. Summary On 29th November 2016 NHS Highland Board approved the recommendations of ‘‘Caithness Maternity and Neonatal Services – A Public Health Review’ including the move to set up midwife-led Community Maternity Unit (CMU) in Caithness and the designation changed on Monday 4th December 2016. An interim report on progress was presented to the board in May 2017. This paper provides an update on the arrangements as of the 1st November 2017, including a summary of clinical activity. 1.1 Number of Births. Transfers and Retrievals Over the eleven month period from 1st December 2016 to 31st October 2017 there have been total of 218 births to women resident in Caithness. Of these, 199 births were in Raigmore Hospital, and 18 (9%) normal births in the CMU, with one planned delivery elsewhere Transfers and Retrievals are lower than before the change in designation and this is an important indicator that the new arrangements are working as planned.

  • Consultation of Proposals for Overprovision Statement 2013-16
    The Highland Licensing Board Agenda 4 Item Meeting – 27 August 2013 Report HLB/107/13 No Consultation on Proposals for Overprovision Statement 2013-16 Report by the Clerk to the Board Summary Following receipt of the evidence and recommendations submitted by NHS Highland attached at Appendix 1 and a further assessment of crime statistics submitted by Police Scotland attached at Appendix 2, the Board is invited to agree options in relation to proposals for an Overprovision Statement on which to consult statutory consultees and the public and to agree an appropriate consultation period. 1. Background 1.1 On 7 August 2013, the Board agreed proposals for the process of developing a statement under section 7 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (the “Act) as to the extent to which the Board considers there to be overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises of a particular description, in any locality within the Board’s area. This process involved first ingathering evidence, where available, in relation to all of the five licensing objectives, with the assistance, in particular, of NHS Highland and Northern Constabulary – now part of Police Scotland. 1.2 The ingathering and analysis of evidence has taken longer than was initially anticipated and has not been an easy task. This is particularly because of the differences in the way in which data on alcohol-related harm is and has been collected by the various agencies in Highland, some being collected at intermediate geography/data zone level but some being collected at multimember ward level or, in the case of crime statistics, at police area level or police beat level.
