About Us
Woodend Municipal Hospital was opened in 1927. The Corporation, in liaison with Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, used Woodend as a general hospital with a special block being set aside for the treatment of non-pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia and similar cases.
On the introduction of the NHS in 1947 Woodend became part of the NHS. However it was not until as late as 1959 that the NHS could use the whole building as a general hospital and for the care of elderly patients.
Today the hospital caters for care of the elderly, orthopaedics, mobility and rehabilitation service (MARS), wheelchair services, Ear Nose & Throat (ENT) Head and Neck Outpatient Department, Audiology and Hearing Aid services and much more....
