Scrubs are the new capes in the Western Isles!

Our local frontline NHS staff in the Western Isles are our superheroes: it’s as simple as that!

And to let them know how much we appreciate them and all they do for our local population, we are running a ‘Scrubs are the new Capes’ social media campaign, with some eyecatching posters of some of our local NHS frontline staff in superhero poses. If you agree, please share, share, share, and spread the word about our local superheroes #nhswisuperheroes

The campaign also helps strengthen our message to the public: ‘We go to work for you, please stay at home for us’.

From domestics to senior charge nurses, catering to community, all members of NHS Western Isles staff are busier than ever in their efforts to continue delivering high quality NHS services to the local population.

Gordon Jamieson, NHS Western Isles Chief Executive, said: “We are currently facing the biggest public health crisis of our lifetime with the Coronavirus pandemic.  The simplest thing that the public can do to help the NHS and each other, is to stay at home. This is the message from us as an organisation and from each and every one of our staff. Help us to protect you by protecting us."

He added: “Whilst these messages are tongue-in-cheek and presented in a light-hearted way, we do hope they will help to get the message across.  I'd also like to state that never have we been prouder of our frontline workers than at present."
