Fantastic engagement with Sanday volunteer island responders on Monday and even some time for some training, along with the new rotational GP and nursing team from the surgery.
Lovely to see the Shapinsay Ambulance Responders support Fiona Summerfield while she received her retirement certificate from @mayhew_andy.
You’ll be a huge miss to the team and @Scotambservice Fiona. Thank you for your many years of service 👏👏🚑🚑
Nice to meet colleagues in Aberdeen today. At the @ParamedicsUK regional conference. Great hearing from @blacksladder on major trauma triage, and the importance of accurate mapping to ensure Shetland is recognised correctly with regards to its position on the globe. 🏴🚑💚
A great morning on a special day spent visiting our amazing facilities team in @NHS_Shetland. Every individual in that team is a massive cog in our NHS Shetland machine providing person centred care and understanding the importance of connecting with patients❤️#shetlandisawesome
Living and working in Shetland and Orkney has been a truly special experience, it will be difficult to say goodbye. The strength of the community and dedication of staff is remarkable. I look forward to getting to know the SAS team across Scotland in the coming months.
We’re delighted to announce the appointment of Michael Dickson OBE as our new Chief Executive, taking over from Pauline Howie OBE who is retiring.

Pleased to be able to offer our NHS Agenda for Change staff a 5% pay rise this year - the largest single year uplift offered to the NHS in the history of devolution. Discussions with unions have been constructive and look forward to ongoing dialogue.

There are no words… Karen inspired so many and was a pleasure to work alongside and to watch mesmerising a classroom of students. She truly does leave a legacy! Taken too soon. #RIPKaren
