NHS Western Isles head of communication, Maggie Jamieson, said: “We received around 80 entries to the competition this winter and there were some excellent creative designs. We’d like to thank everyone for taking the time to enter and for considering the important theme of keeping families fit, healthy and happy.
“The aim of this competition was to get children and young people involved in thinking about health and wellbeing and to share and discuss this important topic with the adults in their lives. Starting these conversations at a young age, and encouraging parents, carers and teachers to get involved, helps ensure that these important messages are well understood.”
