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 and 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: The Division of Surgery is responsible for delivering inpatient and outpatient surgical services.
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 Post Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU) together with several out-of-areas procedural/invasive specialty areas.
