Moray Maternity Services This page will provide all official updates regarding the ongoing challenges facing the Paediatrics Service at Dr Gray’s Hospital.

Following a number of recruitment issues, we recently made the difficult decision to temporarily withdraw inpatient services at Ward 2 until we are able to ensure we have a safe and sustainable level of staffing available. This change is only for inpatient paediatric admissions. All paediatric outpatient clinics and other services are unaffected by the change. We would encourage anyone who wants to be kept up to date with the latest information to follow this page. Please also share this page with anyone you think may have interest. Proudly working together to deliver the best possible services for a healthier Grampian. NHS services for the half-million people who live in Grampian are provided by NHS Grampian, and are overseen by one single NHS Board. The single Grampian NHS Board is responsible for improving the health of the Grampian population, and for delivering the health care required. The Board must oversee the taking-forward of Scotland's national health agenda, tailored to the needs of the Grampian population of half-a-million people spread over 3,000 square miles of city, town, village and rural communities. The Board is supported from headquarters at Summerfield House in Aberdeen. Senior managers for the functions which cover the whole of Grampian are based here, including financial overview, corporate planning, and central responsibility for protection and promotion of public health. NHS Grampian consists of acute services, corporate services and three Integrated Joint Boards and works closely with the local authorities. NHS Grampian is also very closely linked with both the University of Aberdeen and The Robert Gordon University, especially in the fields of research, workforce planning and training. Moderation

Can you help us to support more mums and birthing people with their mental health by becoming a LATNEM volunteer?

Fancy getting stuck into some fundraising? Making cuppas and lending a listening ear at our meetings? Making up some self-care packs? Enjoy creating Social Media Content? Love a bit of admin? A whizz on accounts? Passionate about mental health?

LATNEM have a wealth of volunteering opportunities available, we'd love it if you could get in touch!

Volunteering positions which involve supporting our service users must be mums or birthing people who have their own lived experience of mental ill health.

If you feel well enough to volunteer, have enough time to commit on a regular basis and feel that volunteering is the right thing for you just now, then contact us at hello@latnem.org ❤
