Fixed term for 12 months from 05/08/2026 – 03/08/2027
POST REF: PS243120
Dr Grays Hospital is a district general hospital built in the early 19th century with a bequest from Dr Alexander Gray, a son of Elgin. The site has expanded to provide acute bed capacity and essential clinical facilities for the population of Moray. We have a General Medical Ward, Acute Care of the Elderly Unit (ACE), Acute Medical Assessment Unit (AMAU), Stroke Ward and HDU with patient care supported by a range of specialties including Diabetes, Cardiology and Gastroenterology. A full range of clinical support services are also provided including Radiology, Laboratories, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy, Dietetics, Podiatry and Speech & Language Therapy. The hospital has on-site echocardiography, CT and ultrasound. There are plans in place for a MRI scanner.
Dr Gray’s Hospital is at the heart of the community, serving an expanding population of around 95,000 residents of Moray. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide essential emergency and acute as well as elective services locally, advocating for our patients to be cared for close to home. We have developed strong professional links with our GP practices, community hospitals, social work teams and local services to provide comprehensive and integrated pathways of care.
We are looking to attract candidates who are passionate about improving the care of acutely unwell medical patients as part of a dynamic and forward thinking team to shape the future of acute care in Moray.
THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT
The Department of Medicine at Dr Gray’s is being reconfigured and modernised so that our patients are provided with high quality clinical care from pre-hospital and community based care to tertiary centre and home. This is being achieved in partnership with the Emergency Department team with support from the Hospital Management Team, with whom we have an excellent working relationship. Applicants should see this opportunity as a chance to be part of NHS Grampian’s ambition and drive to innovate and develop improved, sustainable services in Moray with significant health and social benefits to the local community we serve.
NHS Grampian is committed to developing an integrated and equitable medical service for patient care across our two acute sites involving both Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and Dr Grays Hospital. This strategy will provide significant career development in a wide range of medical specialities and align to service delivery models across Grampian with increased opportunities for research, education and clinical management for those with an interest in these areas.
The post holders will join a well-established multi-disciplinary team and the successful candidates will be supported working in a modern, friendly and well equipped hospital.
