NHS Western Isles has again joined forces with local folk rock band Peat & Diesel to collaborate on a new tongue-
‘That’s the way we wash them” is inspired by their smash hit ‘That’s the way we do it in the Western Isles.’
The light-
Whilst not intended in any way to be educational or an instruction video, the handwashing message (and lyrics) get an important message across, and at the same time, will lift your spirits.
The message is communicated in the unmistakable, distinctive Peat & Diesel style, and features the band in never before seen footage.
NHS Western Isles Chief Executive, Gordon Jamieson, said: ““The intention of the video is clearly to raise awareness of the importance of hand washing and is not intended to be an accurate demonstration.”
He added: “We are delighted to team up with Peat & Diesel once again. By having their support we can reach our younger age groups with some important messages.”
He added: “We want to sincerely thank Peat and Diesel and Wee Studio Records for again supporting us get important messages across. Not only does this band create some excellent music, Peat and Diesel have been strong and invaluable supporters of the local NHS and have helped raise awareness of important messages on several occasions. We are extremely grateful for their ongoing support.”
The ban’s accordionist, Innes Scott, said: “Peat and Diesel were only too delighted to again lend their support to NHS Western Isles and we hope our music continues to spread important health messages. We hope you enjoy the video.”
