Queen Elizabeth Maternity Unit

Getting Here

The Maternity building is physically linked to the children’s and adult hospitals via a walkway bridge.

The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital also has a foetal medicine unit providing specialist diagnostic facilities and treatment to unborn babies from across Scotland. The unit is equipped with three treatment rooms, scanning facilities, counselling facilities and separate waiting areas. There is one theatre, within Labour Ward, which is equipped with special laser technology used to provide treatment to babies while they are still in the womb (interventional fetal therapy).

Labour Ward
  • Call: 0141 201 2292

Within the labour ward, we encourage birthing partners to be present to support women through throughout their birth experience.

Birthing partners are encouraged to update friends and family on a woman’s progress thus limiting the number of direct calls to labour ward and ensuring that women remain informed and at the centre of all discussions surrounding the communication of their baby’s birth.

Visiting within high dependency will be determined by the woman’s condition.

Partners will be supported to visit and additional visitors will be guided by the woman’s condition and activity within the area.
