CHS General Medicine Network consists of rotations through The Canberra Hospital and North Canberra Hospital (formerly Calvary Hospital Bruce). The two hospitals were amalgamated under one health service (Canberra Health Services) in July 2023. This unaccredited General Medicine position will include possible rotations into General medicine, Hospital in the Home and the Acute Medical Unit and MAPU
The Canberra Hospital is the 672-bed tertiary referral centre for the entire Australian Capital Territory and surrounding regions of New south Wales. It provides a comprehensive range of services covering most subspecialty medical and surgical specialties including a level 3 ICU, a stoke unite certified by the Australian Stroke Coalition, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery and trauma services.
General Medicine at TCH admits a majority of complex and undifferentiated patients who have multiple active medical conditions, eating disorders and toxicology syndromes requiring medical stabilisation.
The Acute Medical Unit is a 48- hour stay ward, designed to deliver timely, evidenced-based, and holistic care during the admission phase of medical inpatient care. The model of care allows further work up of patients with acute undifferentiated conditions in a non-ED clinical space before they either discharge or transfer to a home ward under an appropriate inpatient team.

We understand that many of our patients have complex physical, psychological and social needs. We strive to provide high quality care that is timely, evidence-based, compassionate, holistic and coordinated
