The Oaks is a palliative care day hospital located in Elgin, Moray, Scotland. It was established in 1997 and is managed by NHS Grampian.
History[edit | edit source]
The Oaks was built in a leafy setting in 1997, following the proposals of the Hospice in Moray steering committee. The facility was created with the help of £2.2 million raised by Macmillan Cancer Support. It was officially opened by Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay on 5 August 2003. In 2010, it was awarded the Macmillan Quality Environment Mark (MQEM) for its high standards in building design. An extension was added in 2011, providing a larger lounge and dining area.

The center focuses on pain and symptom control to reduce suffering and improve quality of life. It is located approximately half a mile from Dr Gray's Hospital on the main A96 towards Inverness.
