ECHO in Highland
Project ECHO (Extension of Community Health Outcomes) was established in Highland in 2016. The project has grown each year and in 2020 we have supported almost 20 communities of practice across many health and social care disciplines within and out with palliative care. We work closely with our partners in NHS Highland and Highland Council and we are also happy to use our expertise in delivering ECHO to support health and social care agencies to deliver other types of quality learning online
