DGRI is currently experiencing high levels of admissions. It would be greatly appreciated if members of the public could consider all options for treatment before attending the Emergency Department, including the use of NHS24, your local GP and Pharmacy.

However, if you require urgent medical treatment, you should always attend your closest Emergency Department in the first instance.

Thank you for your patience.

The Dumfries and Galloway Public Protection Partnership is seeking your views on improving support for survivors of violence and abuse.

This survey is confidential and will be open until the 26th January 2026.

Why does this matter? Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) and domestic abuse have profound impacts on individuals, families and communities. Understanding your experiences and perspectives helps us improve services, reduce harm and ensure that support is compassionate, accessible and effective.
