Whyteman's Brae Hospital is a health facility in Whyteman's Brae, Kirkcaldy, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Fife.

History

[edit]

The facility, which provides psychiatry and services for elderly patients, was completed in 1983.[1] A serious outbreak of diarrhea and vomiting, in which three people died, occurred at the hospital in October 2002.[2] In 2018 the hospital started to make the hospital safer by removing sink pipes, door closers and shower taps.[3]
