The Mortuary and Greenspace Projects - Construction
Anyone who has visited the Foresterhill Health Campus in recent weeks will have witnessed the preparatory works for The Mortuary and Green Space Project. The new two-storey mortuary facility is to be built adjacent to the greenfield site next to Foresterhill Health Clinic and will be an integrated post-mortem examination facility and storage for the deceased that will offer mortuary services within a single facility to serve the population of the North-east of Scotland and Northern Isles.

‘Check your kit’ advice for Naloxone
NHS Grampian is urging everyone who holds Naloxone equipment to check their kit, following a warning from manufacturers. Naloxone kits should include two needles; however, it has emerged some kits in France contain only one – or no – needles. The brand affected is known as Prenoxad.
Job opportunities highlighted as services head into winter
As NHS Grampian prepares for winter alongside Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray Health and Social Care Partnerships, the need for people who would like to work in a caring role has never been greater.
