Overview
NHS Grampian is delighted at the prospect of expanding the Obstetric & Gynaecology Department at Dr Gray’s Hospital (DGH). DGH is NHS Grampian’s district general hospital serving the people of Moray. It prides itself on delivering essential services and advocating for patients to be safely cared for close to home. We provide a comprehensive Gynaecology and Maternity service, with a current model of midwifery-led intrapartum care.
The Scottish Government have committed £6.6 million funding for the multi-professional team required to deliver a new model of Consultant-led Obstetric services by the end of 2026. This is fully endorsed by the NHS Grampian Board and supported by NHS Highland in the development of networked pathways of care.
