Nursing And Acute Services
Camden Hospital
Banksia Ward:
-
This is a 24-bed medical-surgical ward that provides specialist care for patients
recovering from surgery and those with acute medical conditions.
Palliative Care Unit:
-
This is a 10-bed unit that provides specialist palliative care services. The unit has
close links with the community palliative care team and is therefore, able to provide
high level palliative care services.
Operating Theatres:
-
The Operating Theatres will provide specialist Day Surgery procedures for carefully
selected patients, without admitting them to a ward for recovery. Patients treated
in the theatre have their surgery performed and then after an appropriate period of
observation are discharged home in the care of a family member or friend later in the afternoon.
Some examples of day surgical procedures performed in theatre include Laparoscopic
Cholecystectomies, many Gynaecological procedures, Arthroscopies and other orthopaedic
procedures as well as investigative procedures, such as bronchoscopies, colonoscopies
and gastroscopies.
Dept of Emergency Medicine:
-
The Department of Emergency Medicine at Camden Hospital provides the same type of
service as that offered at Campbelltown Hospital. The level of the service at Camden
Hospital, in terms of acuity or severity of illness that might be managed is however,
less than that available at Campbelltown. As such, patients requiring more specialised
services are transferred to Campbelltown Hospital for their management
Security and Patient Services:
-
The Security and Patient Services staff at Camden provide the same function as
their counterparts in Campbelltown Hospital.
