Georgetown Hospital Medical & Surgical Services
Georgetown Hospital provides medical and surgical inpatient care as well as Continuous Observation Care. Surgical day care services are also provided on an outpatient basis.
Georgetown Hospital currently has two obstetricians, two general surgeons, and four family physicians.
Surgical services
Surgical services are provided by a team of health care professionals including nurses, surgeons, anaesthetists, family physicians and a host of other hospital professionals.
Many common surgical procedures are now being performed as day surgery. This means that patients arrive for surgery in the morning and return home later the same day to recuperate in the comfort of their own home.
If however, you will be spending time in the hospital after an operation you will be admitted to an inpatient unit designated for our medical and surgical patients.
Georgetown Hospital has two operating rooms. Procedures carried out at GH fall within the following surgical categories:
- General surgery
- Gynaecology
- Orthopaedic Surgery
- ENT
- Urology
Day surgery procedures account for more than 80% of all surgical procedures at GH and include a range of endoscopic procedures and other minimally invasive surgical procedures.
Our surgical team strives to provide a co-ordinated approach to your hospital visit.
Medical Services
Our medical program includes the operation of 3-bed Close Observation Unit. Medical patients stay in the medical surgical unit. Our multidisciplinary team includes support for Palliative Care and Social Work and Discharge Planning. Medical services at GH are supported by diagnostic and therapeutic services within the hospital.
The medical services are focused on providing quality patient and family focused care.
