We’re building a new Cardiac Hybrid Theatre at Rockhampton Hospital. This will give Central Queenslanders access to enhanced cardiac services closer to home.
This will enhance the range of cardiovascular procedures to include:
- coronary angiograms
- coronary stents
- pacemaker implantation.
This project will support attraction, retention, and growth of a sustainable cardiology workforce.
The project includes:
- a Cardiac Hybrid Theatre
- a procedure room
- 6 recovery bays
- 6 new inpatient beds, making a total of 12 cardiac inpatient unit beds.
The project also includes expanded:
- Cardiac Investigations Unit with 8 assessment and diagnostic spaces
- office space.
