Only 'low and medium complexity' surgeries continuing at Scottish heart hospital

The Golden Jubilee Hospital in Clydebank faced concerns over outcomes below SACCS standards, prompting internal and external reviews beginning last year. About 14 SACCS patients chose to receive surgery in England during the review period, while the hospital continues to work toward a full surgical service. Current updates report 66% of planned improvements completed, with ongoing efforts to bolster the surgical team, scheduling, cross-service collaboration, and staff training. Most essential SACCS services continue, including assessments, diagnostics, catheter lab procedures, and rhythm disorder treatment.
