The RHH is the largest hospital in Tasmania. It is the referral centre for numerous tertiary services for all of Tasmania.
The Hospital@home program sits within the Department of Sub-acute, Aged & Community Services and provides care to a range of medical, surgical and sub-specialty patients who require medical management that can be delivered in the community environment.
The Hospital@home program was started in April 2020 and currently has 30 beds, 20 acute & 10 subacute Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM) beds. We also have a Rapid Response service that assesses community patients to prevent hospital admission. The service runs 7-days per week. At present we assess around 200 patients a month. Our average length of stay of 5-6 days for acute patients and 13 for subacute.
Our Hospital@home registrar positions have accreditation with RACP for Basic Physician Training; RACP & ACRRM for GP & Rural Remote trainees; and ACEM for Emergency trainees.
This is an excellent position for registrars who are interested in providing inpatient level care in the community. Registrars would have access to teaching activities provided by their specialist training programmes as well as the teaching provided by the Hospital@home team.
