Nairn Town and County Hospital and Primary Care Centre, also known as the Town and County Hospital, is a healthcare facility located in Nairn, Scotland. It serves a population of around 14,000 people living in the Nairn and Ardersier area and is managed by NHS Highland.[1]
The hospital has its origins as a fever hospital designed by Thomas Mackenzie which was completed on Lodgehill Road in 1846.[2]
A new purpose-built facility, designed by William Mackintosh of Inverness, was built on Cawdor Road between 1904 and 1906 and became known as the Town and County Hospital.[3][4]
In the early 21st century it was decided to redevelop the site to create modern healthcare facilities.[5] The works, which were carried out by Morrison Construction at a cost of £12 million, commenced in 2008.[6] The works were completed in several phases and involved the creation of a new community hospital, a new primary care centre and the conversion of the old Edwardian Hospital into five dental surgeries.[7][8] The centre was officially opened by the Chief Executive of NHS Scotland, Dr Kevin Woods, in September 2012.[9]
