Abstract

The Highlands and Islands Medical Service (HIMS) was introduced across the Scottish Highlands and Islands in 1913 after the Dewar Committee, chaired by Sir John Dewar concluded, following detailed investigation, that “the provision of medical attendance in districts situated in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland” was inadequate.
