Today it is a major acute teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Edinburgh Medical School and provides a wide range of medical and surgical services, including a 24-hour emergency department and specialist care for patients from across Edinburgh, Lothian and beyond. The current site at Little France, opened in 2003, has over 900 beds and is a key centre for clinical care, research and training.

Planning your journey to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh
Hospital appointments don’t always run to exact timings, and travelling to a large hospital site can feel unfamiliar if you don’t do it often.
When planning transfers to and from the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, we allow time for traffic conditions, access roads and agreed drop-off points, so journeys feel unhurried and predictable.
For return journeys, we understand that appointment times can change or overrun. Transfers can be arranged for a set time, or with flexibility built in, so that collections take place when you’re ready rather than rushing to meet a fixed schedule.
If you’re travelling from further afield – including Crieff, Stirling, or elsewhere in Perth & Kinross – having transport planned in advance can remove one layer of uncertainty on the day, allowing you to focus on the appointment itself.
On the day of your hospital visit
Hospital visits can involve a degree of uncertainty, particularly when timings change or plans need to be adjusted. Our approach on the day is simple: we’ll be there when you need us, and we’ll keep arrangements clear and straightforward.
We stay in touch so that pick-ups and drop-offs can be adjusted if needed, and journeys are handled calmly and without rushing. From agreed meeting points to familiarity with hospital entrances, our aim is to make travel one less thing to worry about.
