BASIC INFORMATION<br />
Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital is a mere 20 kms<br />
from the city centre and is a 433 bed Principal Referral<br />
Teaching Hospital and part of the South Western<br />
Sydney Local Health District. A comprehensive range<br />
of medical and surgical specialties are available,<br />
which include world class diagnostic and critical care<br />
services. Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital prides itself<br />
on having a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with a<br />
commitment to providing career opportunities and<br />
staff development. All interns/RMOs here should<br />
expect to undertake rotation to Campbelltown and<br />
Bowral Hospitals.<br />
Campbelltown and Camden Hospitals consist of two<br />
campuses administered under a joint management<br />
structure. Campbelltown campus is focused on<br />
providing acute health care and Camden is focused<br />
on aged and palliative care services. Combined,<br />
the service currently consists of 350 beds. In<br />
addition, Campbelltown Hospital is undergoing a<br />
significant redevelopment and refurbishment project.<br />
Construction of a new clinical services building is<br />
underway with an expected completion date of mid<br />
2022. There will be increased services in women’s<br />
health, children’s health, nuclear medicine, dental<br />
services, a larger emergency department and modern<br />
mental health units. Campbelltown also has a relaxed<br />
and friendly atmosphere with a commitment to<br />
supporting and training junior staff. Campbelltown is<br />
also closely linked to Western Sydney University.<br />
REASONS TO APPLY<br />
The District actively promotes research and provides<br />
teaching for undergraduates, postgraduates and<br />
health service professionals. In March 2017 the<br />
newly constructed Western Sydney University Clinical<br />
Building was opened, which is situated on the grounds<br />
of Campbelltown Hospital. The building houses state<br />
of the art tutorial rooms, clinical skills labs, conference<br />
and meeting rooms, auditoriums, the clinical library<br />
and professorial suites.<br />
On-site accommodation is available at Campbelltown<br />
Hospital and is available for rotating Medical Officers<br />
on a short term basis at a nominal fee. The Hospital<br />
also offers a wide range of facilities including an<br />
auditorium, and a series of conference and meeting<br />
rooms of varying sizes. Currently Campbelltown offers<br />
free onsite vehicle parking. Once construction of the<br />
new multi-story car park is complete the campus will<br />
offer paid parking. Fresh+ Café is on-site with several<br />
restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance<br />
and 24 hour on-site security staff.<br />
