Roxburghe House
Roxburghe House is a specialist palliative care unit which is situated near Foresterhill, Aberdeen, Scotland. It is run by NHS Grampian.
There is a multi-disciplinary team approach to providing care for patients. The team has three consultants, several specialist nurses and a team of trained and untrained nurses. Other professionals involved in the team include occupational therapists, physiotherapists, pharmacists, chaplains, and social workers.[1] Roxburghe House provides many services, not just for oncology patients but for those requiring respite too.
The facility was constructed in 2004.[2] Prior to this it occupied a site in Milltimber, Aberdeen.
In September 2012 an extended garden area was unveiled, which provides a peaceful and private area for patients and families.[3]
Friends Of Roxburghe
The Unit has a charity attached to it, the Friends Of Roxburghe, who help out with teas, coffees, reception duties, and flowers.[4] The Friends of Roxburghe House have been awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.[5]
