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.
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:
via Princess Royal Maternity; enter the Princess Royal Maternity entrance, take the first left and then the second right from the corridor.
OR
via Ambulance Bay; enter through the main door, take the elevator to the lower ground floor (one floor up). As you leave the elevator follow the corridor to your left then take a right, you should be at the entrance of the department.
Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

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.
For general enquiries about Healthcare Chaplaincy in NHSGGC you may contact the Head of Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care tel: 0141 211 3026 or email us at [email protected]
If you are contacting the Chaplaincy Service about a patient in one of our hospitals, please ensure, if possible, that the patient is aware of this and has agreed to it.
