Health services across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have undergone a radical transformation to meet the changing needs of the population. In 2015, the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital opened at the Southern General Hospitalsite. This is a flagship Scottish Government project and incorporated the services from the Victoria Infirmary, Southern General Hospital, and Western Infirmary. The new hospital has a 20 bedded Intensive Care Unit and further 39 High Dependency Beds.

In addition, the new Glasgow Paediatric Hospital is co-located on site and this facility works closely with the recently opened Maternity hospital. Therefore the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital is not only the largest hospital campus in Glasgow but one of the most modern and cutting edge locations for medical care in Scotland.

Applicants must have full GMC Registration, a license to practise and eligible for inclusion in the GMC Specialist Register. Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or eligibility for specialist registration (CESR) or be within 6 months of confirmed entry from the date of interview.

POST: Queen Elizabeth University Hospital

Job Description

REF: 43581D

1. Introduction

Living & Working in Glasgow

Today Glasgow is a compact, vibrant and modern city. In fact Glasgow’s scale comes as a surprise to some people. It has the largest suburban rail network outside London and is second only to the UK Capital as a retail centre. There are top-ranking schools, excellent leisure facilities, beautiful golf courses and elegant accommodation across all price ranges. The night life and restaurants are renowned and its opera, theatres, art galleries and museums offer plenty of cultural stimulation.

From Glasgow, the West of Scotland’s jewels are within easy reach. Loch Lomond is just 45 minutes drive, a little further to the Argyll peninsula – or over the sea to Arran, Skye, Iona and Mull.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Acute Services Division

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is the largest group of adult acute hospitals in Scotland – offering many opportunities to ensure job satisfaction and career development. We provide a wide range of services from community-based care through to the full range of general hospital services.

A considerable volume of complex surgical work is carried out in units that provide the country’s tertiary and national services serving a population of approximately 1.1 million people. Our patients not only come from Glasgow but also, in some instances, from the whole of the West of Scotland and for our National Services, from the whole of Scotland. We enjoy close links with Glasgow’s 3 universities and make a significant contribution to teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. We provide excellent facilities for students and their tutors in the brand new £15 million state of the art Wolfson Medical School based at Glasgow University.

The south sector hospitals comprise the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Gartnavel General Hospital (including the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre) and the Victoria Hospital ambulatory care centre based at the old Victoria Infirmary. North of the River Clyde, there are Glasgow Royal Infirmary (including the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital), Stobhill Ambulatory Care Hospital, Glasgow Dental Hospital and School. Within Clyde the Royal Alexandra Hospital is in Paisley, Inverclyde Royal Hospital is in Greenock and the Vale of Leven District General Hospital is situated in Alexandria.

2. Hospital where services are to be provided

The Critical Care Unit in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital has 59 beds. These can be configured flexibly. The Unit is divided into 6 closely linked wards providing Intensive Care and High Dependency Care for our patients. This includes the 9 bed Medical High Dependency Unit.

These wards are staffed and equipped to provide the appropriate level of critical care required to support the needs of the hospital.

The Critical Care Unit is served with a reception area, shared with the adjacent Coronary Care Unit, as well as a dedicated Seminar Room and Research Facility. In addition the unit has integrated facilities for Medical Physics, Pharmacy and our AHP colleagues.

The team has active quality improvement, audit and research programmes.

The unit is closely located to Paediatric Critical Care, Coronary Care, Radiology, Theatres, Emergency Department and the Acute Receiving wards.

The QEUH hospital provides surgical services for Orthopaedic, Spinal, Colo-rectal, Vascular and Urological Surgery as well as ENT and Renal Transplant. It is anticipated that the hospital will be named as the West of Scotland Major Trauma Centre in the near future.

New Victoria (Ambulatory Care) Hospital.

The New Victoria Hospital opened in June 2009 and has an eight theatre suite with a generous supporting recovery area. The services using the theatre facilities include general surgery, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, gynaecology, urology, ENT, oral surgery and chronic pain services.

The theatre sessions are composed of patients having mainly minor operative procedures but surgical complexity has increased as the facility develops.

In addition there is a 12 bedded 23 hour stay unit which is open during the week.

The pain service provides out-patient clinics and day surgery treatments supported by the multi-disciplinary team of Physiotherapists, Clinical Psychologists and Clinical Nurse Specialists. Pain management in Glasgow also has an Intrathecal Drug Delivery Service at the Beatson Oncology unit, a Pain Management Programme based at the Anvil Centre in the East End and a Spinal Cord Stimulator Service.

The Institute of Neurological Sciences

The Institute is equipped with 2 Magnetic Resonance Imaging suites, SPECT scanner, 2 Computerised Axial Tomography Scanners and angiography facilities. The Institute also provides Neurosurgical and Oral Maxillofacial Services.

Gartnavel General Hospital

Situated on Great Western Road, in the west of the city, the 465-bed Gartnavel General has an evolving role. A broad range of medical and surgical sub-specialities are provided, supported by an 10-theatre in-patient operating department. A Surgical Admissions Unit has recently been built next to the Main Theatre suite. As the base for many of West Glasgow's ambulatory care facilities, Gartnavel also has a purpose-built day surgery unit. This has 4 theatres and supporting accommodation includes an eight-bed recovery area, a 12 bedded second stage recovery area and a six-bay reception/patient preparation area. In addition there is an endoscopy suite, imaging department (including CT and interventional radiology) and the main concentration of out-patient accommodation.
