Woolmanhill Hospital is a hospital in the centre of Aberdeen, Scotland.[1]
History
Opened in 1749, it was the original Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, before this was moved to the Foresterhill site.[2]
Current Use
There are now no in-patient beds in Woolmanhill.[2] The hospital is currently undergoing a phased closure. Until recently, it housed several out-patient departments including Physiotherapy and the genito-urinary medicine clinic. Other clinics were regularly held in the two Medical Out-Patient Departments in Woolmanhill. There was also a research unit for osteoporosis, an X-Ray and ECG on site. [3] Also located at Woolmanhill is the health archives department, which includes historic medical records from patients across the NHS Grampian area.[4]
The departments will be moved to various locations in Aberdeen, including the new Aberdeen Community Health and Care Village, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and Woodend Hospital in phases with the closure due be completed by the end of 2013. In May 2013 the adult Diabetic services moved to the David Anderson Building on Foresterhill site.[5]
However, as of March 2015, both the Ear, Nose and Throat and Audiology Departments remain at Woolmanhill. [6]
