Although NHS Highland was originally based on the same geographical area as Highland Council, it recently enlarged to include Argyll & Bute. We are delighted to announce that Terrence Higgins trust Scotland has been invited to extend its Highland services to include Argyll & Bute too. A new health promotion specialist, Katrina Mitchell, has joined the THT Highland team with responsibility for Argyll and Bute. For practical (geographical) reasons Katrina will be based in THT’s Glasgow office.
As a result our newsletter has got a new look. From now on, you will not only receive information about Highland but also about what is happening in Argyll and Bute. It would also be nice to be a bit more interactive with you, reader and service user. On the back we offer you the opportunity to contribute: send us a question, review an event, share a story, write us a comment, express an idea….
On 8-9 August our Sexual Health Marquee will be present at Belladrum music festival. NHS, Brook, THT and volunteers will be handing out condoms, Femidoms, dams and lube. We will also provide a whole range of leaflets and brochures with information on sexual health issues. Pop round, say hello and get some information at the same time!
While I am writing this the weather is just glorious. Enjoy the Summer, enjoy your holiday but also remember— when having sex, keep yourself and your partner safe!
