A Profile of NHS Highland Community Health Partnerships Highland 4: a profile of NHS Highland Community Health Partnerships Health Intelligence and Knowledge Team, NHS Highland A copy of this report is available on the NHS Highland website Web Site: www.show.scot.nhs.uk/hhb Document version: Nov 2006: V1 Highland NHS Board Assynt House Beechwood Park Inverness IV2 3HG Highland 4: a profile of NHS Highland Community Health Partnerships Table of contents: GENERAL PRACTICE AND HOSPITAL LOCATIONS II FOREWORD III 1.

DEPRIVATION AND HEALTH 22 i NHS Highland Community Health Partnerships General practice and hospital locations Digital Boundaries Crown Copyright HIKU, NHSHI ii Highland 4: a profile of NHS Highland Community Health Partnerships Foreword Following a request from the Board in August it was agreed that a one-off profile of each of the community health partnerships within the new NHS Highland boundary would be beneficial for comparative purposes. Highland 4: a profile of NHS Highland Community Health Partnerships brings together: - demographic profile in terms of population size and structure by locality within CHP, GP practice sizes, and natural population change in terms of births and deaths trends. - mortality profile in terms of broad disease group within each CHP and specific causes of death within each disease group by CHP. - deprivation profiles using the Scottish Indices of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD06) to examine the spread of deprivation by datazone within each CHP, and to explore each of the dimensions of SIMD06, an identification of the datazones in the most 20% deprived datazones, and a series of maps that identify those datazones geographically. The aim of this profile is to enable the reader to gain an understanding of these dynamics within each CHP and to facilitate comparisons between the CHPs. The obvious omission from the profile is morbidity. It had been hoped that use of data from the quality outcome framework (QOF) from GP practices could have been used but this has not been possible within the timescale. A future supplement may combine such information with hospital admission data to provide such a picture. It should be remembered, when using this profile, that the geographical area covered is large – from Campbeltown to John O’Groats is over 300 miles and over 7 hours drive. Smaller area profiles are available or can be compiled from existing data sources such as: - Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics at www.sns.gov.uk Scottish Public Health Observatory at www.scotpho.org.uk These sources will be supplemented in the near future by CHP information to be made available as part of the Delivering for Health Information Project co-ordinated by the Information and Statistics Division of NHS Scotland. It is hoped that this profile will prompt as many questions as it provides answers, and will provoke discussion within CHPs, as well as at the Board.

  • 1 the HIGHLAND COUNCIL the Proposal Is to Establish a Catchment Area for Bun-Sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, and a Gaelic Medium
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL The proposal is to establish a catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, and a Gaelic Medium catchment area for Lochaber High School EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS STATEMENT THIS IS A PROPOSAL PAPER PREPARED IN TERMS OF THE EDUCATION AUTHORITY’S AGREED PROCEDURE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOLS (CONSULTATION) (SCOTLAND) ACT 2010 INTRODUCTION The Highland Council is proposing, subject to the outcome of the statutory consultation process: • To establish a catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar. The new Gàidhlig Medium (GM) catchment will overlay the current catchments of Banavie Primary School, Caol Primary School, Inverlochy Primary School, Lundavra Primary School, Roy Bridge Primary School, Spean Bridge Primary School, and St. Bride’s Primary School • To formalise the current arrangements relating to Gàidhlig Medium Education (GME) in related secondary schools, under which the catchment area for Lochaber High School will apply to both Gàidhlig Medium and English Medium education, and under which pupils from the St. Bride’s PS catchment (part of the Kinlochleven Associated School Group) have the right to attend Lochaber High School to access GME, provided they have previously attended Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar. • Existing primary school catchments for the provision of English Medium education will be unaffected. • The proposed changes, if approved, will be implemented at the conclusion of the statutory consultation process. If implemented as drafted, the proposed catchment for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar will include all of the primary school catchments within the Lochaber ASG, except for that of Invergarry Primary School. The distances and travel times to Fort William from locations within the Invergarry catchment make it unlikely that GM provision would be attractive to parents of primary school age children, and dedicated transport from the Invergarry catchment could result in excessive cost being incurred.

  • Quaternary of Scotland the GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES
    Quaternary of Scotland THE GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES The comparatively small land area of Great Britain contains an unrivalled sequence of rocks, mineral and fossil deposits, and a variety of landforms that span much of the earth's long history. Well-documented ancient volcanic episodes, famous fossil sites, and sedimentary rock sections used internationally as comparative standards, have given these islands an importance out of all proportion to their size. These long sequences of strata and their organic and inorganic contents, have been studied by generations of leading geologists thus giving Britain a unique status in the development of the science. Many of the divisions of geological time used throughout the world are named after British sites or areas, for instance the Cambrian, Ordovician and Devonian systems, the Ludlow Series and the Kimmeridgian and Portlandian stages. The Geological Conservation Review (GCR) was initiated by the Nature Conservancy Council in 1977 to assess, document, and ultimately publish accounts of the most important parts of this rich heritage. The GCR reviews the current state of knowledge of the key earth-science sites in Great Britain and provides a firm basis on which site conservation can be founded in years to come. Each GCR volume describes and assesses networks of sites of national or international importance in the context of a portion of the geological column, or a geological, palaeontological, or mineralogical topic. The full series of approximately 50 volumes will be published by the year 2000. Within each individual volume, every GCR locality is described in detail in a self- contained account, consisting of highlights (a precis of the special interest of the site), an introduction (with a concise history of previous work), a description, an interpretation (assessing the fundamentals of the site's scientific interest and importance), and a conclusion (written in simpler terms for the non-specialist).

  • The Sinclair Macphersons
    Clan Macpherson, 1215 - 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson, 20 January 2011 Not for sale, free download available from www.reynoldmacpherson.ac.nz Clan Macpherson, 1215 to 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their traditional Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson Introduction The Clan Macpherson Museum (see right) is in the village of Newtonmore, near Kingussie, capital of the old Highland district of Badenoch in Scotland. It presents the history of the Clan and houses many precious artifacts. The rebuilt Cluny Castle is nearby (see below), once the home of the chief. The front cover of this chapter is the view up the Spey Valley from the memorial near Newtonmore to the Macpherson‟s greatest chief; Col. Ewan Macpherson of Cluny of the ‟45. Clearly, the district of Badenoch has long been the home of the Macphersons. It was not always so. This chapter will make clear how Clan Macpherson acquired their traditional lands in Badenoch. It means explaining why Clan Macpherson emerged from the Old Clan Chattan, was both a founding member of the Chattan Confederation and yet regularly disputed Clan Macintosh‟s leadership, why the Chattan Confederation expanded and gradually disintegrated and how Clan Macpherson gained its property and governance rights. The next chapter will explain why the two groups played different roles leading up to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The following chapter will identify the earliest confirmed ancestor in our family who moved to Portsoy on the Banff coast soon after the battle and, over the decades, either prospered or left in search of new opportunities.

  • 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.

  • Folk Tales and Fairy Lore in Gaelic and English
    30 FOLK TALES AND FAIRY LORE Rkv. JAMES MACDOUGALL. Folk Tales and Fairy Lore IN GAELIC AND ENGLISH COLLECTED FROM ORAL TRADITION BY Rev. JAMES MACDOUGALL Sometime Minister of Duror " Author of " Craignish Tales," and " Folk and Hero Tales EDITED WITH INTRODUCTION AND NOTES By Rev. GEORGE CALDER, B.D. Minister of Strathfillan " Author of "The Irish iEneid Honorary Member of the Caledonian Medical Society EDINBURGH: JOHN GRANT 31 GEORGE IV. BRIDGE 1910 TO THE CALEDONIAN MEDICAL SOCIETY, DISTINGUISHED ALIKE FOR PROFESSIONAL SKILL AND FOR HEREDITARY INTEREST IN THE HIGHLANDS, THIS VOLUME OF HIGHLAND TRADITIONS IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED BY THE EDITOR. EDITOR'S PREFACE. I HAVE pleasure in acknowledging my indebtedness to Mrs. MacDougall for her whole-hearted interest in the progress of the work from first to last, for transcribmg the English Text, and for approving numerous minor changes in expression, which I had suggested, and thus relieving me from the sole responsibility of making those changes. It is but right to say, however, that as the work advanced through the press, I felt impelled to make the alterations in the text, and especially in the translation, much more thorough-going than I had at first contemplated. In the Gaelic text I have endeavoured to simplify the spelling, and therefore excluded such MS. forms as daramh (dara), 'san t-seallamh ('san t-sealladh), a' deanadh (deanamh), o'n taice so (tac) p. 1 68, romh (roimh), sid (sud). Fhalbh (p. 32) remains as probably the correct form of thallaibh. The final vowel of fern, a stems has been printed in full, as also of the verbal perfects cuala, faca; and, latterly, whenever possible, the substitution of commas for letters, or words, has been avoided.

  • Population Change in Lochaber 2001 to 2011
    The Highland Council Agenda 5 Item Lochaber Area Committee Report LA/2/14 No 27 February 2014 Population Change in Lochaber 2001 To 2011 Report by Director of Planning and Development Summary This report presents early results from the 2011 Census, giving local information on the number and ages of people living within Lochaber. It compares these figures with those from 2001 to show that the population has “aged”, and that there is a large number of people who are close to retirement age. The population of Lochaber has grown by 6.1% (compared to the Highland average of 11.1%) with an increase in both Wards, and at a local level in 18 out of 27 data zones. Local population growth is strongly linked to the building of new homes. 1. Background 1.1. Publication of the results from the 2011 Census began in December 2012, and the most recent published in November and December 2013 gave the first detailed results for “census output areas”, the smallest areas for which results are published. These detailed results have enabled preparation of the first 2011 Census profiles and these are available for Wards, Associated School Groups, Community Councils and Settlement Zones on the Highland Council’s website at: http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourcouncil/highlandfactsandfigures/census2011.htm 1.2. This report returns to some earlier results and looks at how the age profile of the Lochaber population and the total numbers have changed at a local level (datazones). The changes for Highland are summarised in Briefing Note 57 which is attached at Appendix 1.
