Welcome to RACH!

This website aims to provide all the information you and your family will need before, during and after your visit to Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital (RACH).

Our highly skilled, professional staff are here to look after you every step of the way and we are privileged to have the support of a dedicated charity, The Archie Foundation, who provide additional support for young patients and their families.

The team at RACH are on a mission to achieve ‘Magnet’ status, which would see us recognised globally for care excellence and being a truly great place to work! If successful we will be the first children’s hospital in the UK and the first hospital in Scotland to achieve Magnet designation. 

We hope you will find this site useful and we look forward to seeing you soon (although we can’t promise that everyone will be singing and dancing like they were on International Nurses Day!).
