It provides acute, sub-acute, primary and community‐based health services, to the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and surrounding regions. More information can be found on the CHS website. Medical Staff in the Canberra Health Services enjoy excellent conditions, and our Enterprise Agreement is available at: ACTPS Medical Practitioners Enterprise Agreement 2023 - 2026 CHS General Medicine Network consists of rotations through The Canberra Hospital and North Canberra Hospital (formerly Calvary Hospital Bruce). The two hospitals were amalgamated under one health service (Canberra Health Services) in July 2023. This unaccredited General Medicine position will include possible rotations into General Medicine, Hospital in the Home, the Acute Medical Unit and MAPU. The Canberra Hospital is the 672-bed tertiary referral centre for the entire Australian Capital Territory and surrounding regions of New South Wales. It provides a comprehensive range of services covering most subspecialty medical and surgical specialties including a level 3 ICU, a stroke unit certified by the Australian Stroke Coalition, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery and trauma services. General Medicine at TCH admits a majority of complex and undifferentiated patients who have multiple active medical conditions, eating disorders and toxicology syndromes requiring medical stabilisation. The Acute Medical Unit is a 48- hour stay ward, designed to deliver timely, evidenced-based, and holistic care during the admission phase of medical inpatient care. The model of care allows further work up of patients with acute undifferentiated conditions in a non-ED clinical space before they either discharge or transfer to a home ward under an appropriate inpatient team. North Canberra Hospital is a 297–bed secondary care facility. It has a large general medical unit with fewer subspecialties represented and therefore admits a large variety of disorders across the full spectrum of adult medicine. NCH is well supported by a level 4 ICU, CCU, and stroke unit together with 24-hour endoscopy service and surgical services. We understand that many of our patients have complex physical, psychological and social needs. We strive to provide high quality care that is timely, evidence-based, compassionate, holistic and coordinated.
