Chair Award of Excellence Winner – The Fetal-Genetics Group at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital
The Fetal-Genetics Group at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital has been established to improve the experience for patients and families planning or undergoing a pregnancy where there is a known family history of a genetic condition and/or pregnancy loss.
The Fetal-Genetics Group combines the skills of Consultant Obstetricians, Specialist Midwives, Consultant Geneticists, Genetic Counsellors and Clinical Scientists to provide a truly multi-disciplinary approach that allows the most appropriate support and information and any genetic testing to be made available to this group of patients at the earliest opportunity and throughout their pregnancy and beyond.
Chief Executive Award of Excellence Winner – Scottish Epilepsy Register
The Scottish Epilepsy Register has been developed under the leadership of NHSGGC Consultant Neurologist Dr Craig Heath and Johnathan Todd, Head of Information Management. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions, with an estimated 55,000 people living with it in Scotland. The Scottish Epilepsy Register uses routine health data, collected via a clinical dashboard, to provide an alert to healthcare professionals following a key adverse event. Its main aim is to reduce excessive mortality and morbidity in epilepsy and to improve access to care and outcomes in people living with the condition.
As part of the project, key pieces of clinical information are collected from other health boards which will be used to create a Scottish National Audit Programme for Epilepsy, allowing trends and outcomes to be tracked and monitored. Once fully established, the methodology could be applied to other chronic neurological diseases to improve disease recognition and management.
