Dr Jonathan Ball, Dr
Adrian Baker and Dr Audrey Banks took part in a 66 mile cycle around iconic
Loch Ness on Sunday 26th April. This was a 360° closed-road route
which witnessed them leaving Inverness towards Fort Augustus passing through the
villages of Drumnadrochit and Invermoriston and crossing the historic
Caledonian Canal and returning via Whitebridge and Foyers.

Nairn Healthcare
was one of the few Practices that remained open on both Good Friday and Easter

telephone call.
181 patients had a
nursing procedure during Easter weekend and GPs managed to provide a home visit
to 19 of our patients.
