The hospital provides outpatient services, elective orthopaedic surgery, rehabilitation and care of the elderly services.[5] DOME, the Department of Medicine for the Elderly, which forms a base for University of Aberdeen geriatric medicine students is located at the hospital.[5] Several out-patient clinics are also based at the hospital.[6]
