Practitioners who admit medical patients to the hospital. Tell us about the staff employed at Armidale Private Hospital? Behind every successful organisation is a team of dedicated, compassionate and professional people, and this is no more evident than the team that work at Armidale Private Hospital. As the CEO/Director of Clinical Services, my role is to oversee the running of the business and clinical management of the hospital. I have been part of Armidale Private Hospital since we opened in 1998 in various roles. The hospital is divided into three departments: administration, the medical/surgical ward and operating theatres. David Trestrail, the Finance Manager, heads up the administration team, who are the first
people you will see upon entering the hospital. Many will recognise the faces of these Armidale locals. David has been with us for four years and has been on a steep learning curve during that time, as it his first job in the medical industry. His theatrical skills have provided a great deal of entertainment for us all – especially with the production of the most recent Armidale Private Hospital staff Christmas video. Sue Maxwell is the Nurse Unit Manager of the Medical/Surgical ward, which also includes the Sleep Disorders unit. She has been in this position for the past three years and her role is quite diverse when compared to a Nurse
Unit Manager of a metropolitan hospital. One of her many roles is as the discharge planner, which ensures appropriate services and care are in place prior to the patient being discharged from hospital. The team includes registered and enrolled nurses, assistants in nursing, medical technologists and environmental services staff. The hospital is fortunate to also have the expertise and experience of a local occupational therapist and physiotherapists from Rusden Street Physiotherapy. continued over
