care that is compassionate and progressive."
about ashAlice
Springs Hospital (ASH) is the Regional Base Hospital of the Central Australian
Region covering a one million square kilometre catchment area. The Hospital provides
a range of services not normally seen in a hospital of its size, yet essential
for the diverse and scattered communities it serves. The Hospital provides
a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for both inpatients and outpatients.
The Hospital has secondary roles in staff
education and training, research and health promotion, and in contributing
to the regional development of health services. For reasons of geographic
isolation, Alice Springs Hospital provides full-time and visiting specialist medical
services beyond the level usually provided by hospitals of similar size in towns
closer to major cities. There are both Specialist Medical Officers and Resident
Medical Officers in all fields. Visiting specialists service the hospital
in the areas of Cardiology, Neurology, Endocrinology, Plastics, Oral Surgery,
Pain Relief, Dermatology Rehabilitation,  Paediatric Orthopaedic,
Urology and Paediatric Surgery. |
