History


The hospital has its origins in a private house at Castle Hill which opened in 1877.[1] It was evacuated to Kepplestone House during the First World War.[1] It moved to a new facility which was designed by William Kelly and opened on the Foresterhill site in 1928.[1] After the hospital had been completely rebuilt to modern standards, it re-opened in January 2004.[2]


In 2012 the hospital revised its policy around the age of patients who could be admitted for care, raising the limit from 14 to 16 years of age.[3]



Performance


The hospital's performance against the four-hour target in emergency departments was 99.6% ranking third best in Scotland in August 2015.[4]
