Yellow Winter Weather Update

There is a Yellow Weather Warning in place for snow and ice across Orkney. Currently, all our sites remain open and appointments are going ahead as scheduled, unless you have been contacted directly. Staff are working hard to contact those affected by the weather conditions.

If you are concerned about coming in for any appointments today due to the winter weather, please feel free to call us and we will do our best to reschedule your appointment. If you know the department you are visiting, please call the department directly. Although the sites remain open, we are experiencing some staffing pressures, this may mean it takes us longer to answer your call.

In addition, please be advised, we have cancelled the baby immunisation clinic at The Balfour today.

Health advice can be sought on NHS Inform, https://www.nhsinform.scot/, or by calling NHS24 on 111. In an emergency, please call 999.
