History

The hospital was designed by James Duncan as a joint infectious diseases hospital to serve both the burgh and district.[1] It opened as the Turriff Joint Hospital in 1895.[2] It closed in 1932 but re-opened with a new nurses' home in 1936.[1] The facility had some refurbishment in 1998[3] and it became the first site in NHS Grampian to become completely smoke-free in January 2014.[4]

Services

The hospital has 19 beds and is attached to the local health centre. It has x-ray facilities[5] and a 24-hour minor injuries unit.[6]
