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 a 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 dental centre provides a comprehensive range of oral health services under one roof.
These include access to dentists for people unable to attend a general dental practitioner, such as infirm older people, patients with long-term illnesses or special needs. The centre also accommodates specialist NHS dental services which means that 3000 patients no longer have to travel to Glasgow Dental Hospital for treatment.
All surgeries in the dental centre are designed and equipped to deliver all forms of dental treatment, from Oral Surgery to Orthodontics. 2 surgeries have been designed for special care patients that have additional requirements: surgery 11 for younger patients, and surgery 16 for sedation/adult special care. Both surgeries have the necessary equipment to allow patients to be treated under conscious sedation, if necessary.
Having all dental disciplines within one centre benefits patients and staff, as dentists can consult with each other easily, in person, ensuring that patients receive the best care available without having to be referred elsewhere.
Dental student outreach training, under the supervision of qualified dentists, takes place at the centre for students from the University of Glasgow Dental Hospital & School. The Centre holds eight student training chairs. All treatment at the clinic is carried out by Final Year Dental Students from the University of Glasgow Dental Hospital and School and is carefully supervised by a fully qualified dentist who has overall responsibility for dental care.
Our Orthotics Service provides assessment of the whole body for biomechanical problems. If appropriate we may prescribe, measure, fit and review an Orthosis. This is a body worn device which may also be called a ‘brace’ or ‘splint’.
When your GP surgery is closed, and you’re too ill to wait until it re-opens, you should contact the GP Out-of-Hours Service by calling NHS 24 on 111. When you call NHS24, you will be put through to a health professional who will ask you about your symptoms and arrange for you to see a GP if necessary. The out-of-hours GP may either call out to see you or you may be asked to attend the primary care emergency centre where the out-of-hours GPs service is based. Please do not attend a primary care emergency centre without calling NHS 24 first.
The NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde out-of-hours service provides GP services to all practices in Glasgow and Clyde out-of-hours (when your doctor's surgery is closed)
Call NHS 24 on 111 nowif you are unwell and need to talk to someone before your GP or dental practice reopens. This is your fastest way to the right care in the right place.
You will get advice depending on your symptoms. This could be managing symptoms at home, or visiting your local pharmacy. You might need to see an on-call doctor or other health professional. If you need to see a doctor immediately NHS 24 will arrange this for you.
Smokefree Services are responsible for a wide range of tobacco projects aimed at reducing the damage from tobacco to people in and around Greater Glasgow and Clyde

The Healthcare Chaplains for The Royal Alexandra Hospital can be contacted on 0141 314 9561 or 0141 314 7365
The Hospital Chapel is located off the long glass corridor and is open day and night for patients, relatives and staff as a place of peace, quiet and prayer. There is a book provided for written prayers and reflections and a range of religious resources available including prayer mats. There is also a quiet room adjacent to the chapel.
The Chaplains’ offices are opposite the chapel.
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.
