Brief Description of the programme:
Both Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and Raigmore Hospital have most major surgical specialties on a single site. Maternity and Paediatric services are provided at both sites. Cardiothoracic and Neurosurgery are provided at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
The Aberdeen Medical School has students on both hospital sites, allowing opportunities to become involved in student teaching. Students rotate through anaesthetics at various times in their degree programme and anaesthetic trainees are often actively involved in delivering medical education.
Aberdeen and Inverness are well served by air, rail and road and uniquely allow quick and easy access to the wild and spectacular scenery of Royal Deeside and the Highlands. Both Inverness and Aberdeen have vibrant modern city centres and are great places to live and bring up families.
