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-bed public hospital located in Canberra's expanding northside, operating 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, providing 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.

The Division includes Surgical Bookings and Pre-Admission Clinic, Anaesthesia, Pain Management Unit, Operating Theatres, Post-Anaesthetic Care Unit, Day Surgery Unit and Admissions, specialist surgical ward areas, medical and nursing outpatient services, and Intensive Care Unit.
The Peri-Operative Unit at North Canberra Hospital consists of a Day Surgery Unit (DSU), 7 Operating Theatres covering a wide range of surgical specialties, and a Post Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU) together with several out-of-areas procedural/invasive specialty areas.

The DSU consists of an admissions/interview space, Stage 2 Recovery (an 8-bed section for post-operative recovery), and a Stage 3 Discharge Lounge (housing 10 recliner chairs) where patients are discharged home following their procedure.
The Level 1 DSU nurse is a dynamic skilled professional responsible for the provision of patient-centred evidence-based nursing care for every patient. Our nursing team works within an interdisciplinary healthcare team supported by the Perioperative Education Team and the Clinical Nurse Consultant.
