General information of the hospital -

Hornsby Hospital is situated in Hornsby on the leafy upper north shore of Sydney. It is a modern facility having seen a complete redevelopment in 2018-2019.

Hornsby has a strong General Medicine focus with most medical admissions coming under the General Physicians, so ATs gain experience on managing a variety of unfiltered acute cases from across multiple specialties. The MAU is the area where the most acute patients are admitted.

General Medicine is supported by other medical specialties on-site, which include ICU, Cardiology (including CCU), Respiratory, Gastroenterology, Oncology/Hematology (including the chemotherapy unit), Neurology (including the stroke unit), Endocrinology, Geriatrics, Renal medicine (including dialysis), Palliative care and Rheumatology.

Hornsby also is a tertiary referral Psychiatry center and has on site Pediatrics as well as Surgical specialties (including General Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Urology, O+G and Plastics). There is also an inpatient Rehabilitation unit.

You will be working closely with your ward consultants and ward based allied health staff, as well as with the subspeciality consultants.
