GLASGOW – A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND WORK
Greater Glasgow and Clyde Valley are among the world’s most thrilling and beautiful
destinations.
There is a wealth of attractions to discover, the UK’s finest Victorian architecture to
astound you, and internationally acclaimed museums and galleries to inspire you, as well
as Glasgow’s own unique atmosphere to soak up.
Be entertained in one of Europe’s top cultural capitals by its year-long calendar of festivals
and special events and enjoy outstanding shopping, superb bars and restaurants all
located within a stone’s throw of some of the country’s finest parks and gardens.
The area also stands at the gateway to some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery, with
Loch Lomond and the Trossachs only 40 minutes away.
We are easily accessible by air rail and road so getting here could not be easier.
1. THE HOSPITAL MODERNISATION PROGRAMME ~ THE SERVICES OF TOMORROW
A significant re-organisation of NHSGGC has recently been completed. The re-organisation
was essential to align the organisational structure with the Acute Services Review (ASR)
recommendations and support the Hospital Modernisation Programme. This is transforming
healthcare provision locally, regionally and nationally. More than seven hundred million
pounds of investment underpins an ambitious building programme, designed to deliver world
class and integrated care from the following major acute sector units:
New Cancer Centre, PET CT Imaging Centre, on the General hospital campus at
Gartnavel, opened in 2007.
Development of a single dedicated Regional Cardiothoracic Centre at Golden Jubilee
Hospital, completed 2008.
Ambulatory Care, Diagnostic and Treatment Centres at the Stobhill and Victoria sites,
opened June 2009.
New Acute South Glasgow Hospital with co-location of Maternity, Children’s and Adult
Hospital services. Regional Neurosciences and Maxillofacial Centres opened in May
2015.
Re-development of Glasgow Royal Infirmary into the second major acute hospital from
2015.
The Hospital Modernisation Programme will ensure that walk-in/walk-out hospital services
are provided for the majority of patients. The pattern of service provision will shift to reflect
moves towards ambulatory care. Currently 85% to 90% of patient encounters with acute
hospital services are on a same day basis. These include outpatient attendances,
diagnostic tests, imaging procedures, and a range of day surgery procedures. In future,
these services will be provided from ambulatory care centres designed to deliver a
streamlined and rapid process of care.
September 2015

The redesign and redevelopment of Glasgow's acute services will address many of the
pressures currently facing the hospital service. The new services will be provided in
modern facilities rather than in early 20th century buildings. The purpose-designed
facilities will enable the one-stop/rapid diagnosis and treatment models required for the
future. Concentration of inpatient facilities into fewer sites across the city will satisfy the
requirements of junior doctor’s hours and issues arising from increasing sub-specialisation
of medicine to be addressed, through the creation of larger staff teams and sustainable
rotas for both junior and senior staff.
2. VALUING OUR STAFF

are actively developing multi-disciplinary training, extending the role of on-line learning,

3. Brief Description of the Hospital
The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital opened to the first patients in May 2015. It
is to be one of the largest acute hospitals in the UK and home to major specialist
services such as renal medicine, transplantation and vascular surgery, with state of the
art Critical Care, Theatre and Diagnostic Services.
The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital has 1109 single bedded rooms, with each
general ward consisting of 28 rooms with en suite facilities. This will assist in issues
such as addressing hospital acquired infection (HAI), mixed sex, privacy and dignity
issues. Each room has a large window onto the ward corridor to allow good line of sight
between the staff and patients. To help staff deliver care, the new ward layout has
special ‘touch down’ stations arranged at strategic points along ward corridors.
All bedrooms are light and airy with large window offering views to the outside world.
The bedrooms provide a therapeutic and healing patient environment that is safe,
clean, private, quiet and comfortable. The design also provides areas for patients to
meet and socialise. All wards also have security entry to maximise security and
safety.
The atrium of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital houses retail shops and also a coffee
shop. There is a large restaurant/coffee area on the first floor of the hospital with a
balcony and views out onto the landscaped area in front of the hospital.
The new adult hospital is integrated with the children’s hospital (albeit with separate
functions and entrances).
There will also be a physical link for patients and staff from the new hospitals into the
Maternity and Neurosciences Institute building with a further link from the new hospitals
to the laboratory building via an underground tunnel and pneumatic tube.
Within the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus a new purpose built Teaching
and Learning Centre has been also been built.
The £25m purpose-built Teaching & Learning Centre for training of undergraduate
medical and nursing students alongside NHS staff brings a valuable asset to the
Queen Elizabeth University Hospital site and underlines the close links between
Glasgow University and the hospitals.
Facilities
A £6.5m dedicated innovation floor which will accommodate the Stratified Medicine
Scotland Innovation Centre, a Scotland-wide collaboration with industry which will
develop ‘precision medicine’ – advanced diagnostics and precise treatments for
individuals across a wide range of diseases;
A new £5m Clinical Research Facility to ensure that the hospital is at the forefront of
clinical trials of new medicines;
A £32m Imaging Centre of Excellence, opening in 2016, which will include a 7 Tesla
MRI scanner, an ultra-high resolution scanner which will be the first of its kind on a
clinical site in the UK, and world-leading clinical academic expertise in stroke,
cardiovascular disease, and brain imaging.

Shared vision
The University of Glasgow and its partners NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde,
ThermoFisher and Aridhia won the Scottish Enterprise Life Sciences Award for
‘Innovative Collaboration’ earlier this year in recognition of the innovative
infrastructure and collaborations at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
In delivering this project we bring to fulfilment the clinical strategy for hospital
services in Greater Glasgow that was agreed in 2002. Throughout this journey,
successive Scottish Governments have been wholly supportive - most recently in
providing £842 million of public funding for the full cost of these two state-of-the-art
hospitals.
GG&C Health Board Management Structure

(ECANs).
The Older People Service has five 30-bedded Acute Assessment wards – one in
the main QEUH building and four in the adjacent Langlands building. There is
also a 30 bed Dementia / Delirium ward, with specialist Psychiatry support, in the
Langlands building. Rehabilitation beds are at Victoria ACH (48 beds) ,

As well as Geriatric Medicine, OPCs and Day Hospital (including rapid access

Hospitals , at Drumchapel Hospital , New Victoria Hospital and Langlands

Victoria Hospital and Drumchapel Hospital. The Movement Disorders service
provides liaison to other specialties and has links with Consultant Neurologists in
the regional Institute of Neurological Sciences and receives referrals of complex
patients from adjacent health boards. The DME Consultants who currently
contribute to the Movement Disorders Service are Dr David Stewart , Dr Steven
Wishart , Dr Pamela Seenan and Dr Graeme MacPhee. This replacement post is
due to the planned retiral of Dr Graeme MacPhee. The service is well supported
by three Movement Disorders Clinical Nurse Specialists.
The Department is also actively involved in training of junior doctors and higher
specialty trainees and in teaching of both under- and post-graduates. There are
recently established Educational Governance and Clinical Governance groups.
