Golden Jubilee University National Hospital
The Golden Jubilee University National Hospital is the flagship hospital for elective and specialist care for patients from all across Scotland.
In addition to carrying out all heart and lung surgery for the West of Scotland, the Hospital is home to 3 national heart and lung services which provide critical services to patients nationwide:

We are also home to Scotland’s largest ophthalmology centre and one of the largest planned care orthopaedic centres in Europe. Both services are part of the National Treatment Centres expansion programmes.
In addition, our major Diagnostic Imaging service provides vital scan and scope procedures for patients across a range of specialities.
NHS Scotland Academy
The NHS Scotland Academy (NHSS Academy) is an ambitious joint venture between NHS Golden Jubilee and NHS Education for Scotland.
It will support the transformation and sustainability of the health and social care workforce through the development and delivery of new accelerated learning and development offerings for key roles.
The NHSS Academy will play a critical role in addressing the workforce requirements of Boards’ remobilisation plans as well as supporting the commitment to attract staff to the National Treatment Centres programme.
Ensuring appropriate prioritisation of roles, the NHSS Academy will maximise our ability to attract, train and develop people into the health and social care workforce as part of a ‘Once for Scotland’ solution.
National Centre for Sustainable Delivery
The national Centre for Sustainable Delivery (CfSD) is a national unit designed to recover, renew and transform Scotland’s health care system through sustainable technological innovation and digital solutions.
Hosted by NHS Golden Jubilee and commissioned by the Scottish Government, CfSD brings together existing transformation programmes with an innovation team to support the rapid rollout of new techniques, innovations and clinically safe, fast and efficient pathways for Scotland’s patients.
CfSD will work with experts and patients across Scotland to make our healthcare system the best in the world and ensure that people receive the right care, from the right people, at the right time. To achieve this we need to focus on sustainability, value, innovation and listening to our patients.
