REDEVELOPMENT
A multimillion
dollar redevelopment and expansion of North Shore Private Hospital,
which will see the hospital grow to a major 248 bed facility, has
started construction.
A multilevel
accommodation wing containing a further 59 private rooms, all with
ensuites forms the centerpiece of the redevelopment but the hospital
will also add five state-of-the-art operating theatres and two birthing
suites to its existing infrastructure.
The expansion of
North Shore Private will also incorporate an additional 150 carparks
which are much needed on the busy campus as well as 800sqm of consulting
suites for doctors.
North Shore
Private Chief Executive Officer Greg Brown said this would be the most
significant development at the hospital since it opened in 1998.
“As part of this
redevelopment, we will significantly expand and improve our maternity
facilities with new accommodation and two new birthing suites,” Mr Brown
said.
“This is a very
exciting announcement for North Shore Private Hospital. The new
development will assist the hospital to meet the growing demand for
private hospital services in Sydney’s north shore.”
Since its
opening 11 years ago, North Shore has achieved some major milestones
including 22,000 births and 170,000 operations.
In recent years,
the hospital has introduced and become a leader in areas such as
Bariatric (weight loss) surgery, complex spinal surgery and deep brain
stimulation for Parkinson’s disease. The Hospital has also become
well recognized for cardiothoracic surgery, interventional cardiology,
major general and upper gastrointestinal surgery, laparoscopic, urology
and gynaecological surgery, vascular and plastic surgery, and complex
orthopaedic surgery including joints, foot and ankle, shoulder and hand
surgery.
North Shore Private Hospital is
owned and operated by Ramsay Health Care, Australia’s largest and most
respected operator of private hospitals. The hospital is located
in St Leonards, on the campus of the public facility – the Royal North
Shore Hospital – and serves the community in the lower north shore of
Sydney.
Mr Brown said:
“Our staff and doctors are looking forward to being able to expand the
services we provide with this new development.”
He said the
development would be completed by December 2010 and everything possible
was being done to minimise disruption during this period.
