A doctor in Glasgow has been recognised with a prestigious award for his work in work in developing a service for children with breathing problems.
"And children, particularly with breathing problems, can have problems with their sleep and when they have a bad sleep it has a knock-on effect on how they function during the day and on their whole family.During his 27 years as a consultant, Dr Gibson has watched the number of respiratory specialists grow, first at Yorkhill Hospital and now at the Royal Hospital for Children.
"To put into context, when we started this, we had around 16 children on machines overnight, we’re now up at about 200."Getting the sleep lab and investigation service set up at Yorkhill and then getting to design how we would have the same facility here in the new hospital has been a career highlight for me.
"We are helping to drive standards and when I have retired these are the people who continue to build and develop the service."
