Outpatients Tel: Click here for list
General outpatient clinics are located on all three floors of the hospital. Each clinic is identified by a single letter from A to P and has its own reception and waiting area. Your appointment letter will indicate which particular clinic you should attend.
Wherever possible, outpatient clinics will offer a 'one-stop' service where a number of appointments will be scheduled on the same day. As a result many patients will leave the clinic with tests complete, results explained, and a clear outcome of the visit. For others it will be a stay of a few hours instead of admission to hospital or for separate visits to be seen at a clinic.

A Healthcare Chaplain is available to patients, visitors and staff at The New Victoria Hospital and can be contacted on 0141 452 3221.
The Sanctuary is a space designed for reflection, quietness and prayer. There are faith and belief resources, including those for Muslim Prayer. The Sanctuary can be found by turning left at the main reception desk, then right after the double doors. It is open during hospital opening hours.
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.
