1. Golden Jubilee National Hospital

Based in Clydebank, near Glasgow, the GJF is Scotland’s flagship hospital specialising in heart, lung, orthopaedic and ophthalmic services. The hospital also carries out a number of emergency procedures in Cardiothoracic, interventional, diagnostics, cardiology and a range of elective surgical specialties to help reduce patient waiting times across the country.

The Golden Jubilee National Hospital manages regional and national heart and lung services such as:

· all heart and lung surgery for the West of Scotland, including all bypasses, thoracic surgery, heart valve surgery and other complex procedures;

· Interventional cardiology services, including emergency PCI, angioplasty, angiography, TAVI, electrophysiology and complex pacemakers;

· the Scottish National Advanced Heart Failure Service, including the heart transplant unit;

· the Scottish Pulmonary Vascular Unit; and· Scottish Adult Congenital Cardiac Service.

The hospital is also one of only two specialist centres in the West of Scotland that provides the Optimal Reperfusion service. This service means that patients, whose heart attack is due to a blocked artery, will be transferred directly to a specialist centre leading to significantly improved outcomes.

The Golden Jubilee is also the flagship hospital for reducing waiting times in key elective specialties.

Role of the Health BoardThe NHS Golden Jubilee Foundation (GJF) is a national resource for NHSScotland made up of four distinct parts:

It has 300 beds, all wards having single or two bedded rooms with en-suite facilities.

The largest elective orthopaedic centre in Europe the hospital carries out 25% of all Scottish hip and knee replacements and revisions. Our Orthopaedic team pioneered the Caledonian enhanced recovery programme, leading its roll out on a Once for Scotland basis. Our new Motion Analysis Laboratory is the next step in taking orthopaedic research from bench to bedside for patients across Scotland.

The Ophthalmology Unit has continued to expand to meet demand of NHSScotland is now one of the largest in Scotland. Due to changes in practice, the unit has increased the number of cataract procedures by 700% since 2012, from 951 to 7,600 per year. From 2018 will carry out at least 18% of all cataract operations performed by the NHS in Scotland. Following the announcement by Scottish government for further expansion plans, extensive planning is underway for a significant capital build of circa £70m over the next few years.

Role of the Health Board

In 2018 the team at the Golden Jubilee celebrated a Scottish first by using a robot to carry out lung surgery on patients. Lung specialists successfully used a Da Vinci robotic machine in theatres, with patients enjoying less painful recoveries. The robot is being hailed as the ‘next frontier’ in minimally invasive surgery. Its beneficial effects also include a shorter recovery time and less nerve damage during surgery for patients.

Another first at the hospital was Scotland’s revolutionary ‘Heart in a Box’ (OCS) transplant technology which was used in two successful heart transplants. The new technology - the world’s first portable system - keeps human organs warm and functioning outside of the body, extending the amount of time a donated organ can remain outside the body in a condition suitable for transplantation, while giving surgeons the opportunity to assess an organ’s function. It contains technologies which simulate the conditions of the human body and allows organs to function as they normally do. The OCS means that organs can be retrieved from farther away and that we can therefore consider organs which may have been previously rejected.

2. Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel

The multi award-winning Conference Hotel is a four-star facility that is managed and run by the Board and is part of the Golden Jubilee Foundation campus. It supports the hospital by using its accommodation to assist with access for patients and their relatives from all over Scotland.

The Hotel is recognised as the national NHS and public sector conference venue and is the only venue in Scotland to be accredited as a ‘Venue of Excellence’. It combines the standards of a four-star hotel with the facilities and first class service required for successful conferences, training and meetings.

3. Golden Jubilee Research Institute

The GJRI is NHSScotland’s newest clinical skills and research centre and has a current portfolio of 110 research projects, it comprises two distinct centres described below.

The Clinical Skills Centre

Specifically designed to address all your clinical and surgical training requirements, the Clinical Skills Centre includes facilities not readily available in other hospital environments, such as:

· a patient simulator;· live audio visual links to cardiac cath labs, theatre and imaging suites; and· an area designed for surgical skills training.

Role of the Health Board

The Clinical Research Facility

Purpose-built to provide researchers with all the space, equipment and resourcesnecessary to conduct high quality research in an environment designed to respect the patient’s safety, wellbeing and privacy, our Clinical Research Facility offers:

· a dedicated patient waiting area;· a research support office used by research project auditors/ monitors;· four fully equipped outpatient consulting rooms that can be organised to suit

individual project requirements;· secure storage room for project files and project-specific consumables;· sample preparation room; and· a new state of the art Motion Analysis Lab.

How we help NHSScotland

We deliver leading edge research ensuring it is taken from ‘bench to bedside’ to the benefit of the patients.

We currently host research projects relating to our clinical specialties, including interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, pulmonary vascular disease, advanced heart failure, orthopaedics and anaesthetics.

Core research funding is allocated from the Chief Scientist Office in Scotland, reflecting research activity done in collaboration with the academic research sector.We also support an increasing number of clinical trials enabling patients to access state of the art drugs and devices. The portfolio currently stands at 110 projects and ranges from drug and device trials to studies examining different treatment options and projects that use tissue and/or data. All projects are peer reviewed and have NHS Research Ethics Committee approval. Income is generated from commercial studies, and the Chief Scientist Office provides core research funding based on the growing grant funded research portfolio.

We are part of the team of scientists, cardiologists and heart surgeons participating in a £3.9m study into how to prevent the failure of heart bypass grafts.

We carried out a delayed stenting trial with the University of Glasgow which suggested that waiting for a period of time before putting in a stent may improve clinical outcomes for patients experiencing a STEMI heart attack.

We are part of the UK’s first gene therapy trial for heart failure patients. The study will assess whether cardiac gene therapy to increase a protein called SERCA2a – which is involved in calcium signaling in heart cells – is safe and can improve both quality and length of life for patients.

Role of the Health Board

We have played a major role in the ‘PRAMI trial’ over the past five years. Two of our leading cardiologists made significant contributions to this groundbreaking research study, which found evidence to suggest that preventative angioplasty following a heart attack has the potential to save the lives of thousands of patients every year.

We began our participation in the UK’s first gene therapy trial for advanced heart failure in 2012. As one of only two UK centres to be running the CUPID 2 trial, we aim to help establish the effectiveness of the MYDICAR treatment, a genetically targeted enzyme replacement therapy. In an earlier phase of the trial, evidence was found that MYDICAR has the potential to dramatically reduce frequency of death, hospitalisations, transplants, the need for a mechanical heart and worsening condition in end stage heart failure patients.

We published our research into Computer Assisted Hip Arthroplasty, which revealed that this technique could increase accuracy of the surgery by over 20 per cent. A cross section of 229 post-operative x-rays of patients from across Scotland between 2008 and 2012 shows that computer assisted navigation could improve the accuracy of Total Hip Arthroplasty from 70 per cent to over 90 per cent. As this is not standard practice in the UK, further research is necessary to determine the long term advantages of this approach to patients.

4. Golden Jubilee Innovation Centre

The Golden Jubilee Innovation Centre is our focal point for driving forward innovations. Both, a physical space and a source of passion and energy, the Golden Jubilee Innovation Centre ensures we continue to meet expectations and provide quality care for patients across Scotland.

The Golden Jubilee has a track record for getting things done. This success can be attributed to a committed and entrepreneurial staff working alongside an accessible and imaginative management team, where aspirational thinking is encouraged. This ‘can do’ attitude enables Golden Jubilee to be a catalyst for change and innovation.
