St John of God Subiaco Hospital Acting Chief Executive Officer Ms Chris Hanna said we are currently developing a site master plan for the hospital, which includes extra parking, operating theatres, single rooms and consulting suites as well as a dedicated research facility.
“We are very excited to be undertaking the redevelopment, which aims to meet the future needs of the community and provide more options for our patients and doctors,” Ms Hanna said.
A three-stage process is being undertaken for the redevelopment project.
Stage one involves the development of the Site Master Plan and demolition of the ageing St John of God House, which will involve the creation of alternative accommodation for St John of God House tenants as well as other preparatory works.
Located opposite the main hospital, St John of God House was constructed in 1962 as nurses’ quarters. In more recent years it has been used for consulting suites, administration offices and parent education workshops.
Ms Hanna said St John of God House has served us well to date, but we need its central location as part of our redevelopment plans.
Stage two involves the expansion of the multistorey car park at the front of the main entrance to provide more parking options for patients and visitors.
Stage three involves the refurbishment of some areas of the hospital, the provision of additional operating theatres, single rooms and intensive care and coronary care beds.
Ms Hanna said we are looking at providing additional consulting suites, with the option for consultants to purchase the rooms.
“In addition we are planning to build a dedicated research facility,” she said.
“Research remains at the core of the hospital’s focus to provide effective, evidenced-based care and a culture of continuous innovation and excellence.
“We undertake a large number of research projects and clinical trials and a dedicated facility will greatly assist with our plans to grow our research program and become a centre of excellence in this area.”
The redevelopment plans require relevant approvals before they can proceed.
