Elgin, Moray – A place to work and live
Dr Gray’s Hospital opened originally in 1819, underwent extensive new building and renovation in 1995-1998 to produce a modern, small district general hospital.
Dr Gray’s is a 120-bed district general hospital which provides a full range of consultant led healthcare specialties. As well as offering excellent training experience for junior doctors, the radiology department provides 3-month placements for radiology registrars. In addition, the opening of nearby Alexander Graham Bell Centre for Digital Health brings together the expertise in Digital Healthcare and Life Sciences within the region and across Scotland. The centre also offers clinical skills training and conference facilities for NHS Grampian staff and University of Aberdeen students.
Moray has many pleasant characteristics. Situated in the North East of Scotland, Moray has a varied landscape ranging from the shores of the Moray Firth to the foothills of the Cairngorms. As well as breath-taking scenery Elgin has a strong cultural scene with wide and varied leisure options. Elgin is very family orientated and offers a comparatively peaceful and calm quality of life. That said, Elgin is only 65 miles from Aberdeen and 37 miles from Inverness, both of which provide excellent links to UK and European destinations by road, rail, air and sea.
The main local industries are farming, fishing, light industrial manufacturing and, of course, distilling. There are 2 large military bases within 10 miles of the hospital with approximately 5,000 servicemen and their families. There are excellent local schools and nurseries. The quality of life is high with relatively low property prices, excellent recreational opportunities and the mild sunny climate of the inner Moray Firth.
