Weather disruption to appointments and patient travel

Following the weekend of windy weather, unfortunately some of our visiting clinicians were unable to travel to Orkney and likewise some patients due to travel south for appointments have also been unable to travel. 

As a reminder, if your appointment is affected, we will contact you directly.

Where an appointment has to be cancelled, a new date will be offered as soon as the service can be rescheduled. Patient travel arrangements will be rebooked once the new appointment is confirmed, so you do not need to contact Loganair or NorthLink yourself.

There is another weather warning in place for Tuesday, if you are travelling for an appointment this week, please check the latest advice from Loganair and NorthLink before setting off.

As a reminder, patient travel information and contact details can be found on our website here, https://www.ohb.scot.nhs.uk/our-services/patient-travel/
