It hardly seems possible, but on Tuesday 6^th July 2021 it will have been 10 years since Her Majesty, The Queen, accompanied by Prince Philip, officially opened the £300 million Forth Valley Royal Hospital.

To celebrate caring for patients over the past decade, this special Staff News feature highlights just some of the memorable milestones and moments in the lifetime of Forth Valley Royal Hospital.
