NHS Fife (NHS Fife University Health Board, as of July 2025)[3] is an NHS board which provides healthcare services in Fife, Scotland. It is one of the fourteen regions of NHS Scotland.
The board runs two main hospitals:[4]
It also runs a number of community and day hospitals, including:
Finances
The board faces an overspend of up to £3.5 million for 2014/5. Financial pressures included the cost of medical locums and bank nurses to fill long-term vacancies in acute services and the impact of new drugs to treat Hepatitis C and Anti-TNF drugs for rheumatology.[5]
In 2019, it was reported that the NHS Fife estate needed £89 million of maintenance to bring the buildings up to acceptable standards, and that this cost had risen by £11.5 million in the last year, primarily due to further deterioration of the tower block at Victoria Hospital.[6]
