Emergency Services

Emergency Services for Forth Valley are now provided in a new purpose-built Emergency Department at Forth Valley Royal Hospital.

This new Department, which is significantly bigger and brighter than the former A&E at Stirling Royal Infirmary, has been designed to give patients more privacy. In total the Department has 22 assessment bays. These are separated into treatment areas for major and minor conditions. There are also two resuscitation rooms (six bays) served by a separate entrance to give direct access for patients arriving by ambulance who require urgent assistance.
