For patients and families

The Western General Hospital is the main centre of adult colorectal services in Edinburgh. The unit also provides service at St John’s Hospital, Roodlands Hospital, and Leith Community Treatment Centre.

In this page, you will find information about various colorectal diseases, hospitals we offer our service at, and how you could help us with getting involved in our research and other public involvement projects.

This page describes services we offer and bowel diseases we treat at the department.

Our inpatient service is based at Western General Hospitals. Some of our outpatient clinics, endoscopy service and day surgery are offered at other hospitals.
