Kier Construction Scotland has been named Principal Supply Chain Partner for a brand new elective care facility at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank.
Valued at £34.5M, the two phase construction project will create a dedicated cataract surgery unit, in addition to an orthopaedic and elective surgical care facility.
The appointment follows calls from the Scottish Government to expand the Golden Jubilee and build five new elective treatment centres across the country. Here, hip, knee and cataract procedures will be carried out, reducing waiting times and enhancing the overall patient experience.
The Golden Jubilee is a national resource for NHS Scotland. It houses regional and national heart and lung services, a centre of excellence in orthopaedics, a major diagnostic centre and is one of the largest cataract providers in the UK.
“This is another major win for Kier Construction Scotland and illustrates our strength in delivering healthcare projects throughout Scotland,” said Brian McQuade, Managing Director for Kier Construction Scotland. “These new facilities will provide improved healthcare services within the Golden Jubilee National Hospital and well as giving the local economy a boost as we will be creating local jobs and learning opportunities for local suppliers.”
June Rogers, Director of Operations at the Golden Jubilee Hospital added: “It’s great to see the plans for these new facilities take a step forward and reach this exciting stage with our partners. Our expansion will provide a number of community benefits such as additional jobs, learning opportunities and environmental projects.
“Once we get approval to proceed, our new facilities will make a huge difference to thousands more patients in the future. It will allow us to deliver more effective healthcare services by continuing to deliver a world-class standard of safe and effective care that the patients of Scotland deserve.”
