Peterhead Community Hospital is located in Peterhead, a coastal town approximately 32 miles north of Aberdeen, Scotland.
The services provided include a small midwife led maternity unit. In August 2005 Aberdeenshire Community Health Partnership issued a consultation document on Older People’s Services, Maternity Services and Diagnostic and Treatment Services which includes several proposals for reorganisation of services in these areas.[2]
A telemedicine link has been installed with Aberdeen Royal Infirmary to enable staff in the small Emergency Department to get advice from colleagues in the larger unit.
