Stroke patient, 80, could be placed in care 100 miles from home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The family of a man stuck in hospital for 16 months have been told he could be placed in a care home 100 miles away. John Russell, from Oban, was admitted to the town's Lorn & Islands Hospital last year after he suffered a stroke. His wife Teresa, 79, said she was prepared to care for him at home with some help, but his discharge from hospital was delayed and his health has deteriorated. Teresa, who uses a wheelchair and a walking frame, said she had been told that because John needs 24-hour car
New forensic nurses help victims of rape and sexual assault (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Specially-trained nurses will now be able to carry out examinations on victims of sexual assault to help gather evidence of crime. Previously, only doctors could gather forensic evidence that could be used in Scottish courts. This caused issues including delays due to a shortage of qualified medics, having to travel to be assessed, and limited access to female doctors.

His GP practice in Dundee is trialling a 3ft-tall robot - called Teme - which glides across the waiting room and takes him through a series of checks before he sees the doctor. "It's a bit odd at first, but you soon get used to it," says Ged. “The first part of almost every patient consultation is spent collecting
My wife died from a flesh-eating bug. I blame NHS delays for her death (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The husband of a woman who died after contracting a rare flesh-eating infection says he feels "cheated, let down and failed" by the NHS. Stephen Alexander believes his wife, Sharon, would still be alive if they had not encountered a series of delays when he tried to raise the alarm. He initially called NHS 24 and as her condition deteriorated an ambulance was called - but they still had to wait several hours for an emergency response. The Scottish Ambulance Service and NHS 24 have written to the
