Main Hospitals

We have nine main hospital sites and 35 hospitals. This includes five maternity hospitals/units, five Emergency Departments, three Minor Injuries Units, and the Glasgow Dental Hospital.

Patients under 16 years are asked not to attend the Emergency Departments at the RAH, GRI or IRH as these departments are currently very busy. Patients under the age of 16 in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area, that require urgent care, are advised to attend the Emergency Department at the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow. See address below.
