Community Hospitals in Aberdeenshire
A Review of Community Hospitals in Aberdeenshire
Across Aberdeenshire we have 9 Community Hospitals which provide a wide range of services for people in their local community - from inpatient care including: mental health, palliative and end of life care, complex clinical care, rehabilitation and enablement through to outpatient clinics and Minor Injury Units.
We are currently undertaking a review of our Community Hospitals to better understand how we might use them in the future to ensure that people in all of our communities can access the treatment and care that they need.
There are some key challenges that our community hospitals are currently facing:
- many of our hospital buildings are older and will require significant investment over the coming years,
- recruiting staff to rural or more remote areas staffing can be a challenge.
Each of our Hospitals is unique and we would like to know more about your experiences of using the care and support that your local Community Hospital provides.
Insch Community Hospital
A separate process is underway for Insch Community Hospital, and a steering/project group is currently in development to progress engagement and communications with the local community.
