Critical CareConsultantACUTE SERVICES IN NHS GREATER GLASGOW AND CLYDE

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest National Health Service providers and employers in the UK. In partnership with local authorities we are responsible for the health needs of a population of 1.2 million people, almost a quarter of the entire Scottish population; Glasgow itself has a population of nearly 600,000. The geographical area covered by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is diverse; it covers both urban and rural locations in the Glasgow and Clyde area.

With an annual budget of one billion pounds this is a particularly exciting time to be joining Greater Glasgow’s Health Service. Over the next decade there is planned investment of more than £750

million, the largest single investment programme in the history of Scotland’s NHS – giving the North and South Glasgow Hospitals accommodation for 21st Century health care.

Our Hospital Modernisation programme is a £750 million strategy that has seen the transformation of acute services across the city including the replacement of out-dated Victorian buildings and the creation of one- stop/rapid diagnosis and treatment models for the vast majority of patients. This will greatly improve the experiences of patients, and staff working environments. Significant investment in acute hospital services means radical changes to Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s healthcare. Reorganisation of services has changed the profile of hospital configuration since June last year within Glasgow to create centres of excellence for surgical, medical and emergency care. 

ACUTE SERVICES SECTOR SPECIFIC

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde hosts the largest group of adult acute hospitals in Scotland – offering many opportunities to ensure job satisfaction and career development. We enjoy close links with Glasgow’s three universities, and make a significant contribution to teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. Research also enjoys a high profile within the organisation. Core adult acute care is currently delivered from four sites within Glasgow. Gartnavel General Hospital delivers acute care in the west-end of the city, In the north-east of the city acute care is delivered from Stobhill Hospital (Minor Injuries Unit and Acute Care and Diagnostics Hospital), and Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The Victoria Ambulatory Care Hospital serves the south-east and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) in the south-west of the city. Paediatric care is delieverd from the new Royal Hospital for Children adjacent to the QEUH.

The Royal Infirmary

Glasgow Royal Infirmary, in the east of the city, provides a wide range of district general hospital, regional, supra-regional and national acute clinical services. Since 2010 an ongoing program of works has been underway to ensure the Royal Infirmary will be fully equipped to serve as the main inpatient hospital for the north and east of the NHSGGC area.

Research also has a high profile within the organisation. The New Lister Building, (formerly known as the University Tower) at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, opened in January 2014 following a £15 million refurbishment. The state of the art equipment, facilities and decor transformed the building for the staff and patients and also includes two floors for the University of Glasgow.

The new Lister Laboratory is named after Joseph Lister who is famous for his ground breaking work in the prevention of wound infection. He worked at GRI between 1861 and 1869 and his work during this time with carbolic acid change the face of surgical procedures making it much safer for patients. In 1911 the pathological institute at GRI was renamed the Lister Laboratory in his honour and since then has continued his pioneering work.

The GRI Site includes, the original hospital building, The Queen Elizabeth building, The Princess Royal Maternity, the Jubilee Building and clinical services from some floors within the Walton Building. Providing a full range of emergency and elective medical and surgical services, the GRI campus hosts a number of specialist services including the Regional Plastics and Burns Unit, hosts complex Upper Gi and Pancreatic Surgical services, Orthopaedic Oncology, Gyn-Oncology surgical services; a range of complex colorectal services are provided including care for Sarcoma management and intestinal failure patients.

It supports the treatment of around 400,000 patients each year and provides a wide range of outpatient, diagnostic and day surgery services. The ACH also has 12 short stay surgical beds with weekday overnight medical cover enabling clinicians to extend the range of surgical procedures offered within the new hospital.
