Last week, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), a tool which has become instrumental worldwide in assessing the level of consciousness of patients. This scale was created by Bryan Jennett CBE and Sir Graham Teasdale in 1974.

Our amazing heritage department displayed some incredible items from their archives, including Glaswegian neurosurgeon Macewan’s journal, which includes notes on the first neurosurgeries successfully performed.

A panel of incredible speakers who travelled from all over the UK and world, gave some fascinating insights into the GCS and its usage, to a global audience. Sir Graham Teasdale, co-creator of this scale, shared some captivating notes and stories about the development of the GCS.

It was truly a historic event!
