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

📱What happens when you phone 111 in Scotland?

The first person you’ll speak to when you phone 111 will be a call handler. They’ll ask you:
🔹who you are
🔹where you’re phoning from
🔹why you’re phoning

We need to know as much about you and your health as possible to offer you the best help and advice. If you’re phoning on behalf of someone else, make sure you’re with them at the time of the call.

You’ll be assessed by our triage team and referred to your local NHS services if needed. This may involve a phone or video consultation with a clinician from your local health board or an appointment to attend A&E or Minor Injuries Unit.

During normal working hours always contact your own GP for urgent advice and treatment. The 111 service cannot arrange appointments at your GP.

The safest cot for a baby is a clear cot. That means removing anything that isn’t essential, including toys and teddies.

Babies need just two items in their cot:

1. A firm, flat, waterproof mattress.

2. Lightweight bedding or a sleeping bag.

It’s important to remove anything that isn’t essential because items such as toys, blankets and bumpers could cover their face and obstruct their breathing.
