Raising Awareness of The Promise in Highland

This training is for anyone working in Highland who would like to learn more about The Promise, how The Promise originated and how we, in Highland, hope to deliver on this.

The Promise Scotland is the nation’s commitment to ensuring that all children and young people will grow up loved, safe and respected.

This is the first session of this training, but there will be four timetabled sessions a year via the HCPC calendar, and two sessions via the CPD calendar. As well as this, if you would like a more bespoke session offered to your team, or you are interested in becoming a Promise Ambassador, please contact Carrie McLaughlan.

Child Bereavement ECHO Sessions are returning…

You may well remember that back in 2019, the Highland Hospice launched an ECHO for Childhood Bereavement. We are delighted to hear that this is returning, and this is your opportunity to get involved at the planning stages of the project.

Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of ECHO before, ECHO stands for Extension of Community Healthcare Options.  The purpose is to share knowledge and best practice to improve outcomes for our communities Project ECHO | Highland Hospice.  You do not need to be involved in healthcare to attend this session, the Highland Hospice are extending the facility to all professionals. 

Way back in 2019 we launched the first ECHO for Childhood Bereavement.  We are relaunching and we would like to invite you to come along to a short session to find out more and see if it’s something you would like to be involved in?  To provide context, the 2019 ECHO was 1 hour, weekly over a 6 week duration and covered subjects of suicide, autism, the teenage brain and vocabulary.  There was a short 20 minute training and then a conversation around a real case study to inform practice.  Please see attached leaflet for more information and register your interest.  Please contact Louise on l.mainland@highlandhospice.co.uk if you have any questions.
