Use tabs for information on wards, location and services/departments available.
A&E and Minor Injuries Services are available in a number of locations. Use our postcode finder to see which is the right one for you.
The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital has been designed to make it easy for you to get to your destination. There are touch screen information points and barcode self check-in points. The friendly faces of our guiding volunteers are here to help. Landmark artworks at key points throughout the hospital make it simple to get around.
As an outpatient you can check in using the letter we sent you when you arrive – like at the airport. Scan in your hospital letter at one of the scanning check-in points. Confirm your details and you’ll be directed where to go next. It’s an easy system to use but if you prefer one of our friendly volunteers will be happy to help. When you arrive at your outpatient waiting room, keep an eye on the screen – it will call you to your clinic room.
We understand the importance of encouraging and supporting people to stay connected to the people that matter most in their lives whilst they are in hospital.
In line with this Person Centred Visiting is being introduced. This means:
- We have no set visiting times
- Please discuss with the person you are visiting and staff when it would be good for you to be here
- We will always welcome and encourage your involvement and support
- Sometimes we may need to ask you to leave the ward temporarily, to ensure privacy, safety, space and rest for patients
If you have any questions please just ask. Please click for more information on Person Centred Visiting.
There are four wards on each level: A, B, C and D. Wards A and B are accessed by the lifts sign posted as Arran on the ground floor; and wards C and D are accessed by the lifts sign posted as Bute. These lifts use smart technology to get you to the ward you want as quickly as possible. You press the button panel outside the lift and it will direct you to the best lift for you. All you need to do next is to get inside the lift and it will take you to the correct floor. There are no buttons inside the lift.

Entrance from Langlands Drive (opposite Car Park 3).
A&E and Minor Injuries Services are available in a number of locations. Use our postcode finder to see which is the right one for you.
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.
Children with serious illnesses and injuries who are less than one year of age should be taken to the Royal Hospital for Children, Govan, Glasgow. Children from one year on should either go to your designated A&E department or to the Royal Hospital for Children.
You can find out more about which conditions may be seen and treated more quickly elsewhere from our Know who to turn to pages.

The Healthcare Chaplains for The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital can be contacted on 0141 452 3221 / 0.
The Sanctuary is on level 1, next to Bute (Lift and Stair) and is open at all times for patients, visitors and staff. It is a peaceful, intimate space for meditation, reflection and prayer. It is designed to be inclusive of all faiths and beliefs and a range of spiritual and religious resources are available (including an ablutions room.)
The Chaplains’ Offices are next to the Sanctuary.
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.
Please visit our web page for more information on the Spiritual Care and Healthcare Chaplaincy Service.
If you have a general enquiry you can email us on [email protected] and our patient leaflet can be accessed here NHSGGC Spiritual Care Team Patient Leaflet 2019.
An NHS Healthcare Chaplain is always on-call and ward staff can arrange for them to be paged. A Roman Catholic Priest is also available at all times.
