Princess Royal Maternity Hospital, adjacent to Glasgow Royal Infirmary on Alexandra Parade, provides maternity and special care baby unit/ITU facilities for neonates. Princess Royal Information
This is an Emergency Department. We prioritise people who have a serious injury or accident or who have a sudden serious illness or medical condition. It may be more appropriate and you may be seen more quickly by your GP or another health care professional rather than waiting for treatment here.
If you think that someone's life is at risk you should call 999 right away.
You can attend your local Minor Injury Unit (MIU) to get urgent care for a minor injury including sprains, burns and simple fractures. MIUs are run by highly experienced Emergency Nurse Practitioners who will assess and either treat a minor injury or, if they find a more serious problem, arrange for you to be transferred elsewhere.
North Glasgow Biochemistry - The department comprises laboratory sites at:
Glasgow Royal Infirmary - The laboratory is located in the MacEwen Building on Alexandra Parade (adjacent to A&E). It provides routine service Mon-Fri between 9am and 5pm and on Saturday between 9am and 12pm. An emergency service operates at all times.
Gartnavel General Hospital - The laboratory is located in the Laboratory Block on Shelley Road and operates Mon-Fri between 8.45am and 9pm. NB. Samples are only accepted into the GGH lab until 7.30pm. After this time, samples are directed to the porters' box and transported to GRI for analysis.
New Stobhill Hospital - A small satellite laboratory is located on Level 1 and operates Mon-Fri between 9am and 5pm.
Enquiries (9am to 5pm) - There is a central reporting office located at GRI which covers the three North Glasgow laboratory sites.
The department provides a service to outpatients and inpatients admitted to Glasgow Royal Infirmary. We carry out imaging and non-imaging investigations along with some therapeutic treatments. Some of the most common investigations performed are:
• Bone Scans, • Renogram Scans, • Brain Scans, • Gastric Emptying Scans • GFR Study (non-imaging).
To access Nuclear Medicine from Alexandra Parade: Enter via the main out-patients reception. Follow the sign for the elevators. Take the elevator to the lower ground floor. As you leave the elevator follow the corridor to your left then take a right, you should be at the entrance of the department.
To access Nuclear Medicine from Wishart Street:

The Healthcare Chaplains for Glasgow Royal Infirmary can be contacted on 0141 211 4661.
The Chapel is on the ground floor in the Centre Block of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Old Building. It is regularly used by patients, staff and visitors as a place of quiet reflection and prayer. The Chapel is traditional in design with attractive and interesting stained glass. Access to the Chapel is via a short flight of steps, with a wheelchair lift available to those with walking difficulties.
The Chapel is open daily from 7am-7pm. Out with these hours a member of the Security Staff will unlock the door for anyone wishing access.
The Chaplain’s Office is situated to the rear of the chapel.
A Quiet Room is on the 1st floor of the Surgical Block, Old Building, Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Comfortable seating, reading material, washing facilities and a prayer area are provided.
The Chaplaincy Service delivers spiritual and religious care to all people. Spiritual care addresses the fundamental human need to have a sense of peace, security and hope particularly in the context of injury, illness or loss. Healthcare Chaplains do this by being attentive to the patient’s story, looking for sources of strength and resilience, valuing the person and what is most important to them. Religious care can be a crucial aspect of this. Healthcare Chaplains work with other NHS staff to ensure that these needs are met and, where appropriate, in partnership with local faith and belief groups.
