The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus is composed of an adult hospital, which caters for adults over the age of 16 and contains 1109 inpatient beds, a children's hospital, which has 256 inpatient care beds for under 16s and the Maternity Unit, in addition to retained services from the Southern General Hospital such as the Institute of Neurological Sciences and other smaller units and facilities. The Hospital is located in Linthouse/Govan in the south-west of Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom and provides an extensive range of medical services. The facility is expected to cost £842 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NHSGGC : South Glasgow University Hospital )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NHSGGC : Directory by Department )〕 The adult hospital is fully integrated with the children’s hospital and are often considered the same facility for management purposes however both retain some separate functions and entrances.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NHSGGC : South Glasgow University Hospital )〕 While each part of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Campus has its own distinct identity and dedicated specialist staff, each aspect is completely integrated as a single facility with linkages for patient transfer, diagnostic services, emergency care and even a rapid access lift from the emergency helicopter pad on the roof of the adult hospital. For example, the new children’s hospital is not only linked to the adult hospital but also both the adult and children’s hospitals are linked to the redeveloped maternity hospital and to the Neurosciences Institute. Both the adult and children's hospital host accident and emergency departments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NHSGGC : About the campus )〕 A physical above ground link for patients and staff from the hospitals into the Maternity and Neurosciences Institute buildings exists, allowing most of the campus to be traversed without going outside. The facilities are also be linked to the laboratory buildings via an underground tunnel and pneumatic tube system.〔〔http://library.nhsggc.org.uk/mediaAssets/library/nhsggc_healthnews_2013_07-08.pdf〕 The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus is the largest hospital campus in Europe. ==Background== The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and Royal Hospital for Sick Children, was designed by Nightingale Associates, with construction carried out by Brookfield Multiplex, who previously built Wembley Stadium. In 2008, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde submiteed a business case to the Scottish Government for a new acute hospital to replace facilities at the Western Infirmary, Victoria Infirmary and the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow. Designs were unveiled for the hospital campus in November 2009, with public funding being approved. At the time of construction the hospital was Scotland's largest ever publicly funded NHS construction project, costing £842 million to build. it was built on and around site of the old Southern General Hospital, with construction starting in early 2011. Originally to be called South Glasgow University Hospital, it was granted royal status by Queen Elizabeth II, becoming Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. It was originally hoped the new hospital would be ready by 2014, but medical services did not start to be transferred until April 2015, when the first services began being transferred from other hospitals〔 and is expected to be fully operational by summer 2016. The colour scheme of the hospital has been deliberately designed to help you find your way around. Each floor in both the adults and children's buildings have a clearly identifiable colour and many works of distinctive art are displayed to give useful landmarks which can act as signposts. The use of therapeutic colour schemes throughout the hospital has been carefully selected by interior design specialists to soothe, reduce stress and enhance well being. The 'retained sites', notably the Institute of Neurological Sciences have also started to receive external and internal refurbishment, with the buildings currently in the process of having cosmetic panel cladding applied to the outside in order to bring their appearance in-line with the newer facilities. The modernisation plan for the Institute of Neurological Sciences within hospital will cost £40 million. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=£40m modernisation announced for Institute of Neurological Sciences )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Campus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
