Trials of a day service at Portree Community Hospital could help transform health and care services provided on the Isle of Skye.
The trial, which began last week, includes part of the hospital facility being transformed intoffa one-stop shop for the assessment of and subsequent support for frail and elderly patients living in the north of the island.
Referred by their GP, allied health or care professional because they are at risk of falling or have complex health problems, the day service will assess patients’ particular health care needs and develop appropriate care plans for them.
