What was once science fiction has become reality at the Institute for Neurological Sciences in Glasgow. The INS has become the first centre in the UK - and only the third in the world - to carry out an operation using pioneering technology that allows a surgeon to ‘see inside’ a patient’s body during surgery.

As Scotland's Climate Week continues, the issue of single-use food and drink containers took centre stage.

Working to help the environment is a key objective for NHSGGC, but when our sustainability efforts also support our patients, visitors and staff, it's a win for everyone. As part of Scotland's Climate Week, we have announced the installation of information screens giving real-time information on bus departures and encouraging people to use the extensive public transport links to our hospitals. The screens have been installed in cafes and public areas in hospitals across Glasgow, and as the weather turns towards winter and temperatures begin to drop, this new service will allow patients, visitors and staff to keep an eye on the arrival of their bus from the warmth of our hospitals, rather than having to wait outside in the cold, rain or snow. Many thanks to Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport for their collaboration with this initiative.

Last week the Royal Alexandra Hospital hosted a Safe Brain Initiative as the hospital became the first in the UK to join a global network which aims to reduce the risks associated with anaesthesia. The event, which was supported by Medtronic Acute Care & Monitoring, heard from world experts in delirium and depth of anaesthesia monitoring. The SBI is established in 12 countries in Europe and the Middle East and aims to reduce delirium, confusion and cognitive decline in patients and improve outcomes by tailoring their care.
