NHS Highland is to lead a project to develop new ways of delivering healthcare in remote areas.
Health Secretary Alex Neil will announce details of the pilot scheme during a visit to west Ardnamurchan.
People living in the area had concerns about a lack of out-of-hours cover following the retirement of the district nurse and two GPs a year ago.
Since then a team of emergency responders, including an ambulance technician, has been established.
Locals are to seek assurances from Mr Neil that this service will be adequately funded in the future.
