	Edinburgh Royal Infirmary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, also known as the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh is the oldest voluntary hospital in Scotland.
		It received a Royal Charter in 1736, and in 1741 moved to a new William Adam-designed facility with 228 beds in High School Yards, near Infirmary Street.
		The original school building, by the same William Adam as the earlier infirmary, was incorporated into the new David Bryce-designed infirmary buildings and the chapel remained in use for the entirety of the infirmary's occupation of the site.

	Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edinburgh physicians began to hold meetings in their own homes to discuss the regulation of medical practice and the ways in which standards in medicine could be improved.
		Central to its role is the joint provision of the Member of the Royal College of Physicians (United KingdomUK) (MRCP(UK)) examination, which is the nationally (UK) and internationally recognised standard of excellence enabling a doctor to practice as a specialist (consultant).
		The College was instrumental in founding the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary in 1729 and, over the years, has influenced the development of medical schools in North America, Australasia, Asia and Africa.

	Quartermile, Edinburgh, Royal Infirmary, Quartermile Edinburgh
		The Royal Charter, awarded by George II in 1736, gave the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary its name: before this the Infirmary had been known as the Little House or the Infirmary or the Physicians’ Hospital.
		In 1872 Edinburgh Royal Infirmary relocated to a site in Lauriston Place, opposite George Heriot's School: the plan by architect David Bryce used fingers of building, some fronting The Meadows, so fresh air and views were at a premium; this approach is logical and Aalto's Paimio Sanatorium evokes this approach.
		Edinburgh architect James Simpson confirmed he was in talks with Quartermile developer Southside Capital, the consortium behind the transformation of the old ERI site, about the project to relocate the George Watson's Hospital wing, which has been substantially altered over the years.

		He was the second aristocrat to represent an Edinburgh constituency in the 1970's, joining Lord James Douglas Hamilton, the brother of the Duke of Hamilton and MP for Edinburgh West between October 1974 and 1997.
		However, in Edinburgh, Tory fortunes continued to decline and Nigel Griffiths increased his majority to 4,176, thanks mainly to the Liberal vote haemorrhaging to the Scottish National Party, and to a lesser extent, to Labour.
		Doctors and medical staff were furious and a BMA spokesman condemned the PFI at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary as 'a tax on generations to come' who would 'inherit the debt in perhaps 25 years and at the end of it they still won't own the hospital.

		The presence of one or more of these symptoms, along with evidence of abnormal blood movement in leg veins, may be considered an indication for surgery, despite limited evidence to show that these symptoms are caused by venous problems, or that operating helps to alleviate the symptoms.
		In this week's BMJ Andrew Bradbury and colleagues at the University of Edinburgh, along with researchers at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary report that such symptoms are extremely common in the general population whether or not varicose veins are present.
		The authors state that surgical decisions based on symptoms may be unreliable, and urge clinicians to attempt to distinguish between patients who may and may not benefit from surgical intervention.
