Where to Find Us

Glasgow 2026 uses a hotel-based accommodation model rather than a single athletes’ village, so medical support is delivered across each of the team’s hotels. There is one doctor residing in each athlete hotel, and every hotel has dedicated medical space for consultations and treatment. 

• Radisson Red (Games SEC Hub) – dedicated medical space on the 8th Floor. 

• Marriott (Games West Hub) – dedicated medical space. 

• The Clayton (Games City Centre Hub) – dedicated medical space on the 7th Floor. 

• Staff hotels (The Sandman) – cover will be provided. 

• Out of hours: an on-call system operates throughout the Games. Full contact details for the medical team, including the duty number, will be shared with you in due course. 

How to Access Medical Support 

Your first point of contact is your sport’s lead doctor or physiotherapist, the doctor based in your hotel, or the duty Team Scotland doctor. You can: 

• Drop in to your hotel’s medical space during open hours. 

• Book an appointment – details on how to book will be shared with you in due course. 

• Speak to any member of the medical team  

Games-time Operations

A few practical points about how the service runs: 

• Hotel cover: one doctor resides in each athlete hotel, supported by the wider team across all sites. 

• Field of play cover: provided on a sport-by-sport basis, based on risk assessment. 

• Coordination with the Glasgow 2026 medical service: the Team Scotland medical team works in close connection with the Glasgow 2026 organising committee medical service across venues and hotels. Please note that the Glasgow 2026 medical service is provided for athletes only – staff and other team members are supported by the Team Scotland medical team. First aid is available for all at venues.  
• Out-of-hours: an on-call system is in place for urgent issues outside clinic hours. 

Glasgow 2026 Central Clinical Hub 

In addition to the Team Scotland medical service in each hotel, Glasgow 2026 operates a Central Clinical Hub for accredited athletes. This sits alongside our own provision and access is coordinated through your Team Scotland doctor. 

• Location: centrally located in Glasgow, within around 15 minutes of most team accommodation.  

• Hours: daily 07:00–23:00 BST, with an out-of-hours teleservice 23:00–07:00 BST. Services run from 20 July through to 4 August 2026. 

• On-site services: primary care (GP/nursing), sport and exercise medicine, physiotherapy, soft tissue therapy, MSK ultrasound, podiatry, point-of-care testing for GI and respiratory pathogens, and a limited supply of medication. 

• Booking: Access is only available via the Team Scotland medical team. 

Venues and Recovery Spaces 

• Competition venues: Glasgow 2026 provides medical cover at all competition venues, with field-of-play teams sized to the sport. 

• Independent training venues: at Hutchison’s Grammar School (Athletics and Netball) and Pollock Park (Netball), Glasgow 2026 will have a minimum of two First Aiders on duty for each sport during training. Anything beyond immediate first aid will be arranged through the Team Scotland medical team or the Central Clinical Hub. 

• Athlete recovery spaces in hotels: each athlete hotel has dedicated bookable spaces for use by your sport’s own physiotherapy and massage therapy staff, with stretching areas available. 

Diagnostic Imaging and Investigations 

Where imaging or further investigation is clinically needed, your Sport doctor will arrange it. Ross Hall Hospital is the designated centre for X-ray, MRI and CT for Team Scotland athletes and accredited staff. On-site diagnostic ultrasound is available through Edinburgh Radiology, and daily MSK ultrasound clinics are also available at the Glasgow 2026 Central Clinical Hub. NHS imaging is used for emergency and clinically urgent cases through agreed clinical referral. All investigations are coordinated through the Team Scotland Medical team 

In an Emergency 

• At a venue: alert the nearest official and the venue medical team. 

• Anywhere else: call 999, then notify the duty Team Scotland doctor as soon as possible – contact details to follow. 

• NHS hospital care: Queen Elizabeth University Hospital is Glasgow’s major trauma centre and the primary referral hospital, and Glasgow Royal Infirmary is the other main NHS hospital nearby. NHS emergency care is provided at no cost to those with appropriate Games accreditation. 

• Reciprocal care: athletes already receiving treatment through the Sport Scotland institute of sport will have continuity of care, coordinated by the team. 

Performance Services

There are no off-site performance services at Glasgow 2026. 

If you have attended previous Games, you may be used to accessing performance support services at an external high-performance centre. These off-site performance services will not be provided at Glasgow 2026. 

The medical, physiotherapy, soft tissue and mental health provision described in this guide is focused on your health, injury management, recovery and wellbeing during the Games. If you wish to maintain wider performance support, please arrange this through your sport or governing body as part of your pre-Games preparation.
