Nurses enjoy team building fun at Lochter

Nurses at Roxburghe House are buzzing after two separate, fun-filled team-building events at Lochter Activity Centre in Aberdeenshire.

Held earlier this month, these days provided a much-appreciated opportunity for the dedicated NHS staff to unwind and connect outside of their demanding roles and were funded by Friends of Roxburghe House Grampian.

The feedback from the nurses has been overwhelmingly positive. Senior charge nurse Fiona Weir said: “We all had a fantastic time and the team have all said they had so much fun.

“And Lochter could not have looked after us better – there was good food and service was excellent.”

Barbara Manson, chairman of the Friends of Roxburghe House, explained the motivation: “Supporting these away days at Lochter was a new initiative for us. We wanted to explore impactful ways to boost morale and express our deep gratitude for the exceptional work of the Roxburghe House team.

“Our aim was simple: to provide a day of pure enjoyment in the great outdoors.”

Lochter Activity Centre, set against the backdrop of Bennachie, offers a range of engaging activities designed to foster teamwork and create lasting memories. The intrepid nurses tackled the climbing wall, took part in a shooting challenge as well as taking to two wheels navigating the electric segway around the course.

Friends of Roxburghe House is delighted with the positive response and will use this valuable feedback to inform future projects aimed at supporting the incredible staff at Roxburghe House.
