Royal Alexandra Hospital (Paisley)

The Royal Alexandra Hospital is the main hospital in Paisley, operated by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

The hospital provides a range of health services to the Renfrewshire area which includes inpatient beds, general medical and surgical services, trauma and emergency surgery centre, HDU, medicine for the elderly, maternity hospital, the Panda Children’s Centre and accident and emergency.

On June 30, 2007, the hospital received patients from the 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack, including one of the suspects who was taken to the hospital under arrest with severe burns. Parts of the hospital were later evacuated when a suspect device, originally believed to be a suicide belt, was discovered on the suspect. On the afternoon of July 1 a controlled explosion of a car was carried out in the car park of the hospital.
