[edit] Services
The Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Hospital is a small hospital of some 160 beds nestled into the forest hills south of Brisbane near the suburbs of Sunnybank and Acacia Ridge.
The hospital originally was developed to be a site for future expansion of the Mater Childrens Hospital, a center for servicing the needs of the Commonwealth Games held nearby and a range of other initiatives that never eventuated. At one point in its history it was almost closed but after vigorous protests by the local community it was reopened and continues as an elective surgical hospital and an active general medical facility.
In 2007 it will become part of the newly formed Brisbane South Health District and the QEII Hospital Health Service District will no longer exist. QEII Hospital will be part of four hospital services including Beaudesert, Logan, Bayside and QEII. There is also a proposal to build a 'surgicentre' at QEII to provide for increased elective surgery.
Its clinical departments include:
- Orthopaedic Surgery, Director Dr Philip Dalton
- Gynaecology, Director Dr Mukhtiar Sidhu
- General Surgery, Director Dr Justin Greenslade
- General Medicine, Director Dr Judy Flores
- Intensive Care, Director Dr Malcolm Wright
- Geriatrics and Rehabilitation, Director Dr Amanda Siller
- Emergency Medicine (non-trauma), Director Dr Phillip Hall
- Anaesthetics and Pain Management, Director Dr Gabriel Mar Fan
- Urology and Urodynamics, Clinical Director Dr Peter MacTaggart
The clinical activities of the hospital center around lower limb orthopaedic surgery including knee and hip replacements and arthroplasty, elective gynaecological surgery, urodynamics and urological surgery as well as a broad range of general medical and surgical procedures.
