The first Grampian patients have been treated at the National Treatment Centre – Highland at Inverness Campus this week.

Staff also welcomed a team from NHS Grampian on their first visit to the facility.

The new £48 million centre opened its doors to patients on April 17.

Centre manager Helen Robertson said: “It was good to be able to show the team the centre where patients will receive this life-changing surgery.

“We already have a strong partnership with NHS Grampian and look forward to that continuing as we welcome patients to this state-of-the-art treatment centre.”

Gail Little, staff nurse at Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin, said: “I am genuinely excited for our patients in Grampian to have their joint replacement surgeries so quickly. This visit allowed me the opportunity to answer questions our patients may have about going through to Inverness for their surgery.”
