William Cullen Prize for Innovation Winner – Red Star Fracture Liaison Service based in the South Sector, led by Dr Maria Talla
The Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) aims to identify and treat patients over the age of 50 who have sustained a fragility fracture, and refer them for an assessment of their bone health in order to reduce their risk of subsequent fractures.
Dr Talla and her team have partnered with RedStar to develop a web-based clinician dashboard system known as RedStar FLS.
The dashboard has significantly reduced the time it takes for the Fracture Liaison Service to identify a patient who has had a fragility fracture, from an average of 15 months to 3 days. This allows prompt assessment and treatment initiation. An automated audit tool has been built into the dashboard and shows that the NHS GGC South Sector FLS is outperforming national FLS standards across the UK.
William Cullen Prize for Education Winner – Intensive Care Medicine in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary
Over the last year, this department has demonstrated an excellent profile in training all grades of doctors, from Foundation to Specialty resident doctors, and has been recognised in providing this in the Scottish Trainee Survey.
The department led by Dr Barbara Miles and her team performs well in many domains, and in particular in important areas such as induction and handover, creating a positive educational environment that is clearly appreciated by the doctors who work there. There is a focus on learning through weekly MDT simulation scenarios and structured learning is provided in weekly education slots on site that can also be accessed remotely.
