Overview
Private One ward is a thirty-bedded, acute mixed medical ward including oncology, haematology and palliative care patients.
Among a wide variety of acute and chronic illnesses, we commonly treat patients living with heart failure, respiratory failure and cardiology conditions.
On the ward you will have the opportunity to learn and practice venepuncture/cannulation, central venous access devices (CVAD) care, telemetry monitoring, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) care, chest drain management and pre/post procedure care.
Private 1 ward is a great ward to gain experience and develop a solid foundation in nursing practice , as there is great exposure to a wide variety of conditions.
