Raigmore Hospital is the principal acute general hospital serving the population of NHS Highland. The catchment area is geographically the largest and most northerly of any Health Board in mainland Britain. In addition, tertiary services are provided to patients from NHS Western Isles and western parts of NHS Grampian, making the total catchment population approximately 400,000. Raigmore is a modern, well-equipped, general hospital, and its relative geographical isolation demands higher levels of services than in most hospitals of comparable size
