[Stronsaylimpet] Clinical cover Stronsay & Eday

[Limpet editor]

Due to an agency letting us down at last minute we have today put in 
contingency measures to allow clinical cover on both Stronsay and Eday.

As such the following staff will be on duty on the below dates:

  * Monday 2 October 0900 to 1830   Nurse Jo Threlfall and Nurse Maxine
    Piper will be on island and  covering Stronsay
  * Monday 2 October 0900 to 1830   Dr Wassim Malas will be on island
    and covering Eday.

Normal service will resume from 1830 on Tuesday.

Dr Malas will be covering both islands overnight on Monday and will 
remain in regular contact with both nurses on Stronsay during this 
period.   A nurse will be on call on Stronsay should Dr Malas feel a 
patient requires a visit.

By way of further update I can confirm we have appointed 2 Nurse 
Practitioners for Eday.   Rhonda Scanlan and Daniel Salter will be 
starting on island from beginning of December.

We apologise we have been let down yet again by a recruitment agency but 
want to reassure you that we are working hard to ensure continuity until 
we have these 2 Nurse Practitioners in post.
