NHS Highland says it has been overwhelmed by the community support it has received from both companies and individuals.

In a statement today, the health board said: "We are incredibly grateful for the offers of personal protective equipment [PPE] and other gifts that have been made over recent weeks.

"As an organisation we have to ensure that any PPE issued to staff in NHS Highland is in line with national guidance and standards to ensure that our staff are provided with the highest standards of protection.

"With this in mind we have set up a page on our website where any donations of this kind can be catalogued in a central location.

"The influx of support and offers of help we have been receiving has been truly amazing. Thank you for all your support."

Anyone who would like to get in touch about donating equipment is asked to visit the website.
