Woolmanhill Hospital is a hospital in the centre of Aberdeen, Scotland.[1]

[edit] History

Opened in 1749, it was the original Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, before this was moved to the Foresterhill site.[2]

[edit] Current Use

There are now no in-patient beds in Woolmanhill.[3] It now houses several out-patient and departments including Ear, Nose and Throat, Audiology, Diabetic and Physiotherapy out-patient and the genito-urinary medicine clinic. Other clinics are regularly held in the two Medical Out-Patient Departments in Woolmanhill. There is also a research unit for osteoporosis. Until April 2010, there was also an X-Ray and ECG department on site, but this has now closed.[4] Also located at Woolmanhill is the health archives department, which includes historic medical records from patients across the NHS Grampian area.
