Cash Injection Boosts Global Status of Glasgow Infirmary
Aug 29 2012
Glasgow Royal Infirmary has received a £15 million cash injection which could see its laboratory services compete with the best in the world.
The completion of the new £90 million laboratory at the Southern General marked a significant step forward for the hospital, but after a further £15 million cash injection, health chiefs at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) are touting the lab as one of the leading facilities in the world housing some of the latest laboratory equipment
The University Tower building at the Royal Infirmary will host the new centre, after the health board injected significant funds to pay for state-of-the-art equipment.
Aileen MacLennan, Director of Diagnostics at NHSGGC, said: "This is another significant investment in laboratory medicine which will see NHSGGC with some of the most modern up-to-date laboratory facilities in the world. Laboratory services in Glasgow and Clyde are undergoing significant improvements in both accommodation and equipment replacement."
Their Managed Service Contract also ensures that equipment is refreshed when needed, which could set a good precedent for research facilities in other areas of the country, she added.
The refurbishment is scheduled for completion by mid 2013.
