News / NHS seeks new names

NHS Grampian is seeking potential names for new buildings at Foresterhill.

NHS GRAMPIAN is seeking naming suggestions from members of the public in the Northern Isles as it develops two major new buildings on its Foresterhill campus site in Aberdeen.

The two buildings, being built at a cost of £120 million and expected to be open by the end of 2020, will serve patients from NHS Shetland and NHS Orkney as well as those in Grampian.

The new hospital will include maternity, gynaecology, breast screening and breast surgery services. It will also include a neonatal unit, a centre for reproductive medicine, an operating theatre suite and research and teaching facilities.

The new centre will provide outpatient and day patient investigation and treatment for people with cancer and for those with blood disorders.

Suggestions for names should be sent to matt.eaton@nhs.net or by post to Freepost, NHS Grampian (no stamp is required) by a deadline of noon on Friday 13 March.

The names will be considered by a panel including clinicians, managers and members of the public and the agreed names will be confirmed in April.
