PATIENTS are being advised of changes to the entrance of the Queen Margaret Hospital's outpatients clinic from today.

Due to ongoing work to redevelop the reception area at the hospital access will be changed for around two months.

Anyone with an outpatient clinic appointment should use the minor injuries unit entrance at the side of the building to access the outpatients reception.

Patients who use outpatient services elsewhere in the hospital are not affected by the change.

Margaret Henderson, Queen Margaret development project lead, said, "We apologise for any inconvenience during these works and thank patients, visitors and staff for their understanding." The development project includes the creation of a diagnostics and treatment centre, bringing together day surgery, day intervention, urology and endoscopy.

A number of other primary care and community services will also be brought together on to one site by the project.
