We accept referrals for adults who are 16 years and over, have a neurological condition (excluding stroke) and live in Glasgow or from areas with an agreed care pathway (NHS Western Isles and NHS Lanarkshire).
Referrals can be made by any health or social care professional. If the referral is not appropriate for us we will try and suggest an alternative.

NRU operates with a multidisciplinary team approach. This means lots of different professionals come together to work as a team to promote your recovery.
Patient’s may not need to see all of these team members as some may be more relevant to your condition than others. In addition some patient’s may be provided with mobility aids (walking aids, wheelchairs) to increase independence, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that this will be long term.
Once a patient arrives in NRU we will create a therapy timetable. We encourage patients to take responsibility for attending therapies but will support as required. It is useful to let friends and family know the timetable as visiting should be arranged around therapies and mealtimes. The intensity of therapy is usually greater than in other wards.
We provide some input as a group-based intervention or undertaken alongside other patients.
We have a mix of single and 4 bedded rooms. The allocation of each is based on patient need and may be subject to change during a patient’s hospital stay.
We have collated a variety of useful resources that provide guidance and support for you and your baby.

This page provides you with information about the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Early Years Mental Health Improvement Framework.
This framework has been created as a planning tool to help support those working with babies and young children who are under 5 and their parents/carers to plan and deliver mental health improvement activities. It outlines the range of themes that evidence shows promotes positive mental health in the early years and highlights factors that both threaten and support good mental health.
Evidence shows us that addressing the wider causes of mental health requires a unified, co-ordinated, and ongoing approach from multiple sectors. This framework supports this by providing a consistent structure against which various partners and stakeholders can review their existing approaches and identify any additional opportunities to promote positive mental health and wellbeing.
The gynaecology ultrasound services are located on 5 sites within Greater Glasgow and Clyde:
You will be referred by your GP or by a hospital consultant.
It is helpful if you have a full bladder when you attend for scan. Your scan may be performed in two ways: by abdominal approach (a full bladder will help with this method) and or vaginal approach. Both of these methods are comfortable and the sonographer will explain why they have chosen which method is best on the day. The doctor or sonographer may ask you when your last period was and we can carry out scans at any time of the cycle, including when you have your period.
Your appointment will take around 10 to 30 minutes.
The doctor or sonographer may explain some of the findings during the examination. You will get a more detailed explanation of your results at a separate clinic appointment or by letter from your gynaecology consultant or GP.

The Gynaecology Inpatient Wards provide dedicated care for Gynaecology patients requiring treatments/surgery; either elective or emergency.
Our wards are multi-professional with a dedicated team of specialist consultants, nurses, healthcare assistants, physiotherapists and clerical staff working together to ensure that each patient receives outstanding care.
We operate an ERAS programme in Gynaecology. The aim of this programme is to get women back to full health as quickly as possible after surgery, empowering them to take an active part in their recovery. Research has shown that after surgery, the sooner patients mobile and the earlier they are eating and drinking, the quicker their recovery will be. They are less likely to develop complications after surgery, such as chest infections and blood clots.
The main elements of the ERAS programme include:
We encourage and support people to stay connected to those who matter most in their lives while they are in hospital. This page provides details of current visiting arrangements in place, and guidance and safety measures everyone needs to follow. Person Centred Visiting is in place across NHSGGC.
Person Centred Visiting means we will work together with patients, family members and staff so that care is in line with the following core principles:
The emergency gynaecology departments are available to patients who need seen urgently and cannot wait for an outpatient appointment. This may include certain patients with early pregnancy problems.
You will either be referred directly to Emergency Gynaecology by your GP or transferred from the relevant hospitals Emergency Department (Accident and Emergency).
You can attend this unit only if your General Practitioner (GP) has assessed you and has discussed your case with the consultant on-call. If you have not been assessed by your GP and you feel your case is an emergency, you should attend your local Accident and Emergency Department.
The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
When you arrive in Emergency Gynaecology Service, a member of staff will register your details and carry out some basic observations (blood pressure, pulse, temperature and urine checks). A doctor will talk to you about your symptoms and after discussion carry out any examinations, tests, scans or investigations needed. You may be able to go home after these things have been completed although some women need to be admitted to the ward.
If you attend over the weekend or in the evening and you need an ultrasound scan, this may be arranged for the next available appointment, which may be 2 to 3 days later.
In some cases you may be asked to return for repeat blood tests or scans. You will be given an appointment time for this. Please note that whilst we make every effort to see you at the appointed time, it is not always possible if there are unwell or upset patients needing to be seen urgently.
If you are discharged from our care but your symptoms return, please contact us for further advice. We will provide you with follow up contact details when you are discharged.
Information coming here soon.
