A General Medicine Clinic is no longer operating at the Western General Hospital.
Please consider appropriate alternate referral. This might include Medicine Specialties, the Syncope clinic at RIE, the CFS Service, Day Hospital or MoE clinic. Agreements around GP access to Radiology should also be considered if pertinent.
Where a medical opinion or advice is required to prevent admission, the Medical Registrar or Consultant on call should be contacted via the switchboard (0131 537 1000).
Requests for urgent care likely to require admission are made via the Flow Navigation Centre. For ambulant patients requiring acute assessment the Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) service is appropriate. Referrals can again be made via FNC and further information is available via RefHelp: Flow Navigation Centre
If you have a question or concern relating to the review or discharge from the Acute or General Medical team at WGH, please contact the medical secretary of the named Consultant.
