What’s more, Glasgow is easily accessible by air, rail and road, so getting here couldn’t be easier.

About the Board

The Hospital Modernisation Programme – The Services of Tomorrow

Health services in Glasgow & Clyde are currently going through dramatic and exciting changes, brought about by the Acute Services Review, now termed the Hospital Modernisation Programme. This ten year £700 million strategy will see 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.

Core adult acute care is currently delivered from six sites within Glasgow and three sites in Clyde. The Western Infirmary and Gartnavel General Hospital operate in tandem delivering acute care in the west-end of the city. In the north-east of the city acute care is delivered from Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The Victoria Infirmary/New Victoria Hospital serves the south-east population and the Southern General Hospital serves the south-west of the city. Services for children are provided centrally from the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Yorkhill. Full Accident and Emergency services are provided at the Western Infirmary, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, the Victoria Infirmary and Southern General Hospital. In Clyde, acute services are currently provided at Royal Alexandra Hospital, Inverclyde Royal Hospital and Vale of Leven Hospital.

The Hospital Modernisation Programme will ensure that walk-in / walk-out hospital services are provided for the vast 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 walk- in / walk-out same day basis. These include out patient 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 streamlined processes of care, which patients want – to be seen quickly by the appropriate specialist, to undergo clinical investigation, and to receive treatment without delay.

The ambulatory care centres for the south side and north east of the city of the city are in the New Victoria Hospital and New Stobhill hospital respectively. These state-of-the-art facilities opened in June 2009. They house the main out-patient centre and day surgery services. In the south side in-patient services will be concentrated in a new hospital to be built on the site of the current Southern General Hospital. This new facility, housing some 850 beds, will replace ageing acute wards in both the Southern General Hospital and the Victoria Infirmary. The new facility will work alongside some of the relatively modern buildings housing specialist services, which will be retained on the Southern General Hospital site as part of the Strategy. The new south-side hospital will be home to one of two Accident and Emergency and Major Trauma Units covering the whole of the city. The new south-side hospital is planned to open in phases between from 2012-2016.

The redesign and redevelopment of Glasgow’s acute services will address many of the pressures currently facing the hospital service. The new service

will be provided in modern facilities rather than 19 th century buildings not designed for modern healthcare. The purpose designed facilities will enable one stop / rapid diagnosis and treatment models required for the future. Continuity of service will improve with the elimination of the need for patient’s notes and results to be moved from building to building. Concentration of services will allow the requirements of junior doctors’ hours and issues arising for increasing sub specialisation of medicine to be addressed through the creation of larger 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.
