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.

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.
