Aberdeen Community Health and Care Village also known as The Health Village is a community hospital located in the centre of Aberdeen, Scotland.[1] It is managed by NHS Grampian.
History
[edit]Plans for the complex were announced in 2010.[2] The facility, which cost £15 million to construct, opened in December 2013.[3] It was the first healthcare facility to be completed in Scotland under the hub framework of the Scottish Futures Trust.[4][5]
Services
[edit]The health village, which is designed to offer services to 700 patients a day,[3] contains 275 rooms including three dental suites, two minor procedure rooms and 29 consulting rooms.[6] Services being run from the health village include: cardiac rehabilitation, dentistry, dietetics, physiotherapy, podiatry, radiology, sexual health, speech and language therapy and minor surgery. An endoscopy service was provided from June 2014.[7]
The health village acts as an educational resource for patients, carers and community-based staff.[8] The health village also provides improved access to community based learning opportunities for healthcare professionals such as general practitioners (GPs) and GP trainees.[9]
Mural
[edit]Work on a mural on the side of the building began in July 2021. It is being painted by Fanakapan, a London-based artist, as part of the 2021 NuArt Festival.[10]
