For over 30 years, the Grampian Hospitals Carol Concert Committees have been hosting annual carol concerts in aid of CLIC Sargent, enabling children and young people affected by cancer to thrive, not just survive.
Now in their 33rd year, the concerts will take place 7:30pm on Wednesday 4th December at Elgin Town Hall, and 2:30pm on Sunday 8th December at the Aberdeen Music Hall.
Tickets are available from the Box Office : 01224 641122 and from Aberdeen Performing Arts.
The topiary elephants were on loan to Castle Fraser for a few months during the construction work for The Baird Family Hospital and the Anchor Centre. The car park outside the Children’s Hospital has been redeveloped and the elephants have now returned. It’s good to see them back on a sunny day in Aberdeen!

In 1980, the very first scan of a patient by MRI was carried out at the University of Aberdeen. Read our blog post World’s first MRI scanner now on display to find out more.
Now a new generation of scanners has been designed and built here. Called “Fast Field-Cycling MRI”, the devices switch rapidly between strong and weak magnetic fields, generating extra diagnostic information for the doctors who read the scans. Hear from the team behind this new technology. They will explain how the FFC-MRI scanners work, and how clinical trials using a prototype scanner are already helping medical staff to see more about their patients’ condition.
This event is led by the members of a European consortium called IDentIFY, Improving Diagnosis by Fast Field-Cycling MRI. This €6.6M research project is funded through the EU Horizon 2020 Programme. The project involves partners from 9 sites across Europe, led by The University of Aberdeen.
The event is part of British Science Week. It is free and no booking is required. Go to the British Science Week web pages to view the full programme of events organised by the Aberdeen Branch of the British Science Association.
