NHS Highland would like to extend its sincere thanks and best wishes to Elizabeth (Liz) Higgins, who retired earlier this year. Liz provided outstanding leadership and dedication throughout her time with NHS Highland, supporting nursing services across Argyll and Bute and Highland with a strong focus on delivering high-quality, person-centred care. Her contribution has had a lasting impact on teams, services, and the communities we serve.

As Associate Nurse Director, Liz played a key role in driving improvements in nursing practice, supporting workforce development, and promoting excellence across a wide range of care settings. She was widely respected for her supportive leadership style, her advocacy for nursing teams, and her commitment to continuous improvement in patient care.

We thank Liz for her many years of service and wish her every happiness and fulfilment in her retirement.
