NHS Shetland

NHS Shetland is the smallest territorial health board in Scotland, responsible for providing comprehensive health and social care services to the population of the Shetland Islands. The organization operates the Gilbert Bain Hospital in Lerwick and manages a network of community health centers and GP practices across the archipelago. It focuses on delivering integrated primary, secondary, and community care, often in collaboration with the Shetland Islands Council through the Health and Social Care Partnership. Key services provided include emergency medicine, maternity care, mental health support, and dental services, all tailored to the unique geographic challenges of a remote island community.
