About the Hospital: North Canberra Hospital (formerly Calvary Public Hospital Bruce) and Clare Holland House are now run and operated by Canberra Health Services (CHS).
This is a significant milestone as the ACT Government moves towards delivering a new billion-dollar hospital on Canberra's Northside.
The current North Canberra Hospital is a level 4 hospital that provides a range of acute and sub-acute services including community-based care to the residents of the northside of Canberra and Southern NSW. North Canberra Hospital (NCH) is a 270 public hospital located in Canberra's expanding northside. North Canberra Hospital operates a 24-hour Emergency Department. Inpatient services include general medicine, surgery, maternity, mental health and critical care.
Other service modalities include day surgery, specialist outpatient clinics, Hospital in the Home and the Geriatric Rapid Acute Care Evaluation service that reaches into aged care facilities across the ACT.
The new Northside Hospital will be built on the existing Calvary Hospital campus in Bruce. It will be a modern, state-of-the-art hospital for patients, visitors and its workforce and will provide more beds and increased services. Until then, it's business as usual at the NCH, and we'll keep providing high-quality care to our patients and community.
About the role: Hospital in the Home (HITH) is a service that substitutes inpatient care delivering acute treatments by health care professionals in the patient's home, residential aged care facility, community setting or in the HITH unit. The service allows for treatment in the patient's usual place of residence reducing or eliminating an inpatient stay in a hospital facility. The critical feature of HITH is that the care provided is a true substitute for acute and sub-acute inpatient care, with the patient still classified as an inpatient. HITH is a service delivered 24/7 with on-call provisions after hours.
Under broad direction of the Division Executive, you will provide a leadership role and medical services for the delivery of HITH services, working in a multidisciplinary clinical environment with a team of nursing, allied health, medical and support staff. You will be expected to be involved in education and training of medical students and junior medical staff including physician trainees and medical registrars. There are opportunities to undertake research and quality assurance projects.
Note: This is a part-time position (16:00), and the salary noted above will be pro-rata.
