Our client is a 300 bed secondary hospital, which services an urban population of 75,000 and a total population catchment of 161,000. The emergency department is a district trauma centre, servicing a geographically large area with pockets of isolated rural townships – Otaki, Wairarapa, Horowhenua, Tararua, southern Hawke’s Bay districts and Linton Military camp – with a rural population of 86,000.
The Level 5 Emergency Department is a modern facility with close access to ICU, radiology, and operating theatres. All acute services are provided on site with the exclusion of neurosurgery, cardio-thoracic and plastic surgery. Patients requiring these services are transferred to Wellington.
The Emergency Service is busy with approximately 36,000 patients a year and an admission rate of about 31%. There is a higher than average trauma workload due to work related rural injuries, and also road accidents from a number of state highways that transect the region.
Our client is located in a major university city and is at the hub of key routes to the central North Island ski fields, and river adventures. Wellington the capital city, is only a 2 hour journey by road, as are the wine growing regions of Hawke’s Bay and Wairarapa.
