THE HOSPITAL MODERNISATION PROGRAMME - THE
SERVICES OF TOMORROW
Health services in Glasgow have completed a major Hospital
Modernisation Programme. This ten-year £700 million strategy has
seen the transformation of acute services across the city including the
replacement of out-dated Victorian buildings and the creation of onestop/rapid diagnosis and treatment models for the vast majority of
patients. The last major piece of this plan completed with the opening
of the new Southern General Hospital building in May 2015.
Core adult acute care is now 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 and Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
The Southern General
Hospital provides acute adult care for the south of the city. In-patient
services for the south have now been concentrated in the Queen
Elizabeth University Hospital built on the site of the previous Southern
General Hospital.
This new facility, housing some 850 beds, has
replaced ageing acute wards in both the Southern General Hospital
and the Victoria Infirmary. The new hospital works alongside some of
the relatively modern buildings housing specialist services, which will
be retained on the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital site as part of
the Strategy. The new hospital is home to one of two Accident and
Emergency and Major Trauma Units covering the whole of the city.
The children’s hospital has relocated from Yorkhill to the new £100
million building on the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital site sitting
alongside and is fully integrated with maternity and adult services.
Full adult Accident and Emergency services are only provided at
Glasgow Royal Infirmary and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
The Hospital Modernisation Programme ensures that walk-in/walk-out
hospital services are provided for the majority of patients. The pattern
of service provision reflects the move towards ambulatory care.
Currently 85% to 90% of patient encounters with acute hospital
services are on a walk-in/walk-out same day basis. These include outpatient attendances, diagnostic tests, imaging procedures, and a range
of day surgery procedures. These services are now provided from
award winning ambulatory care hospitals (ACH) designed to deliver the
streamlined process of care, which patients want - to be seen quickly
by the appropriate specialist, to undergo clinical investigation, and to
receive treatment without delay.
Two ambulatory care centres for the city are in new purpose-built
hospitals at the Victoria Infirmary and on the Stobhill Hospital site.
These state-of-the-art facilities opened in 2009 and house the main
out-patient centres and day surgery services for the city.
The redesign and redevelopment of Glasgow’s acute services has
addressed many of the pressures currently facing the hospital service.
The new services will be provided in modern facilities rather than in
19th century buildings not designed for modern healthcare.
The
purpose-designed facilities will enable the one-stop/rapid diagnosis and
treatment models required for the future. Continuity of service will
improve with the elimination of the need for patients’ notes and results
to be moved from building to building. Concentration of services will
allow the requirements of junior doctors 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.
The formation of larger clinical teams will make sure that programmes
of work, including the need to cover emergencies without interfering
with waiting list and ambulatory care sessions, can be planned
effectively. The concentration of in-patient services on fewer sites will
help strengthen specialist services and maximise the capacity of the
service.
