In Quality Care Is Truly Dedicated To, And Is An Effective Model For, All Day Surgery Services To Our Community |
Townsville's Day Surgery was a creation during 2003 and was based on a definite need to establish a quality surgical unit, to provide a more personalised service, to provide an alternative to the major hospitals in our Northern region.
As the “Facility Manager” of the Townsville's Day Surgery unit, along with the help of our professional Staff, it is our united role to actively promote safe, same day surgery and provide the most modern theatre equipment embracing up to date technology, some of which is unique to our district.
We provide a wide range of surgical, endoscopic and dental services, from these modern facilities and comfortable surroundings. Townsville's Day Surgery is foremost in the delivery of first class care.
In keeping with this philosophy the nursing staff is trained to deliver the best, most effective peri-operative care always in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Townsville's Day Surgery has established strong links and contracts with all major health insurance providers along with a reasonable rate structure for the uninsured. Quality Private Day Surgery is now available to all members of our community and is provided with a deep respect for personal dignity and privacy with consideration given to your individual requirements.
