NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde      

The new South Glasgow Hospitals Campus will deliver a truly gold standard of healthcare on the Govan site with maternity, children’s and adult acute services all together on the one campus.  It will also have the biggest critical care complex and one of the biggest Emergency Departments in Scotland.

Brookfield Europe, a major international builder, is the preferred contractor to construct the new hospitals which will be the largest single NHS hospital build project in Scotland.

NEW ADULT HOSPITAL

The plans for the complex will see a brand new 14-floor adult hospital with 1109 beds. Every patient in the wards will have their own single room with an en-suite and Brookfield’s creative design means that every room will have excellent views of either the Campsie Hills or out onto the Clyde or Paisley and no bedroom will overlook another.

Each adult general ward will have 28 single bedrooms with en-suite facilities, this will assist in addressing hospital acquired infection (HAI), mixed sex, privacy and dignity issues.

NEW CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

A brand new children’s hospital, with a separate identity and entrance, will be adjoined to the adult hospital.  With 256 beds over five storeys it will replace the existing Royal Hospital for Sick Children.  Stunning designs include a covered roof garden where young patients can enjoy a range of activities in the fresh air including their own stage where they can put on theatrical productions!  Brookfield have ensured a design so in tune with the needs of patients that children can even be brought out to the roof garden in their beds.

The new children’s hospital will be a mix of four-bedded and single-bedded accommodation as it’s been shown that a child’s health benefits from being around other children.

The new children’s hospital will not only be linked to the adult hospital but also to the redeveloped maternity hospital.

NEW MATERNITY HOSPITAL

£28million has been invested in refurbishing the Southern General Maternity Unit which was completed at the end of 2009, marking the latest milestone of an ambitious strategy to improve services for mothers and children across the city.

Among its world-class facilities will be a brand-new foetal medicine department providing specialist diagnostic facilities and treatment to unborn babies from across Scotland. The hospital will also be a national centre for certain specialist services for newborn babies and provide state-of-the-art intensive care services.

NEW LABORATORY FACILITY

Brookfield started construction on the new Laboratory facility in early 2010. The laboratory will accommodate blood sciences, pathology, genetics, microbiology, postmortem and mortuary services.
