Grant and Becky are infection Doctors working in Raigmore Hospital in the Highlands of Scotland and have spent much of the past 18+months working on COVID wards and caring for those suffering from COVID infection alongside an amazing team. After receiving our third booster we wanted to do something to help raise funds towards vaccinAID which we think is so important for the world's most vulnerable, but also for us all. The global inequity of vaccine distribution is unfair and unjust.
We asked NHS Highland staff to contribute poetry, prose and pictures and have created this small book full of talent and creativity from our workforce. We have created a 52 page colour print book which could be a great stocking filler present.
How do you get one of these wonderful books?
Donate £10 to VaccinAID here. NHS staff can then pick up books from the Acute Medicine Secretaries Office (ground floor corridor to GA), Raigmore, Medicine Secretaries Caithness General Hospital, Belford Hospital and Lorne & the Isles Hospital. Members of the public can pick up books from Raigmore main reception (0830-1630) or The Highland Table bistro in Raigmore. You will have to show proof of your donation (either screenshot of the confirmation page, or proof of identity and showing your name on the list of donors here)
Or:
Donate £10 into one of the tins in Raigmore (at The Highland Table café and Reception at the main entrance) and take your book immediately.
Note: Books also now available at Waterstones Bookshop, Inverness, The Corner on the Square, Beauly and The Storehouse at Foulis Ferry, Evanton.
