Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth hospital scoops Golden Hip award for patient care

Scotland's largest hospital - which also happens to be in Glasgow - has been recognised as a leader in hip fracture care.

The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) has been awarded the Golden Hip award - given to the Scottish hospital that meets the highest overall performance measured against a set of standards for hip fracture patients over the year.

Hip fracture is the most common serious orthopaedic injury to affect the elderly, with more than 6,000 patients admitted to hospital every year in Scotland alone.
