X1: Creating the conditions for quality: A Scottish Approach and the Golden Jubilee Foundation Approach to Quality
Delegates will learn how a focus on method, capability building, national improvement programmes has resulted in the strategic, integrated and systematic approach to improving quality.
In the second half of the programme, delegates will visit the Golden Jubilee National Hospital. A national institution, independently run by its own NHS Board, the Golden Jubilee is the flagship hospital for reducing waiting times in key elective specialties in Scotland. One of Europe’s largest and best known elective orthopaedic hospitals, it is now carrying out more than 25% of all hip and knee replacements in the country. It is also one of Scotland’s largest ophthalmic units, carrying out at least 18-20% of all cataract operations.
This visit will allow delegates to see the benefits of high volume surgery and how the system has developed to deliver high quality care with low complication rates alongside introducing innovative practices.
