The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Golden Jubilee University National Hospital, in Clydebank, on a medical paper gaining international recognition; understands that the research paper was co-authored by orthopaedic specialists at NHS Golden Jubilee in collaboration with the University of Strathclyde; further understands that the paper investigated the prospect of 3D printing hip and knee joint replacements, mixed with a patient’s own biological cells, into the body; understands that the paper, entitled 3D bioactive composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, was published in the influential medical journal, Bioactive Materials, in 2017, and has been awarded Best Paper by KeAi as part of the publisher’s 10-year anniversary celebrations; believes that the paper has received more than 1,100 citations by other orthopaedic specialists and researchers, making it a landmark paper in its field, and commends the collaborative partnership for aiming to assist in the recovery and remobilisation of NHS Scotland through innovation in health care practice, as well as building the Clinical Research Fellowship programme to produce more cutting-edge research in the future.
