Important information from NHS Forth Valley
NHS Forth Valley is changing the process for attending the Minor Injuries Unit within Forth Valley Royal Hospital, Larbert.
Previously you could just turn up but now they are asking people to phone the NHS helpline first.
This is because they are trying to reduce waiting times and also hopefully avoid an unnecessary journey to Larbert from rural areas especially if the journey can be avoided.
You MUST phone NHS 24 on 111 and not just go to Minor Injuries directly.
Which would you choose? There’s just over a week to go until the monthly Community Lottery £2,000 draw!
Support Thornhill Development Trust by taking part in the Stirling Community Lottery and you could win the monthly prize or be in the draw for the weekly prize, up to £25,000.
The Lottery donates to good causes such as TDT which helps us support improvements and events in our community.

Playing badminton is a great way to keep fit and have fun so it’s good news that Callander and West Perthshire U3A have started a group in the community hall.
It’s held on Wednesday afternoons, at 2-4pm and there is space for new members. As the name ‘Badminton for Fun’ suggests this group is non-competative and you don’t need to be an expert or even particulary fit to join in.
If you would like to give it a go with no obligation contact membership@candwpu3a.org or peterarickard@gmail.com
