About the Team/Service Location
We have a dynamic, respectful and a supportive team within the unit. Over the last two years ICU has seen investment increase the bed status from four to eight beds along with the staff to support this uplift. The funding has enabled the unit to buy additional equipment and training to now be able to offer renal replacement therapy. The hospital operations group is one of six within CCHB district provider services. Specialities within the Directorate are at secondary and tertiary level with service provision for the district, the central region and wider regions.
Hutt Valley District is a tertiary referral centre for plastics, oral maxillofacial and burns patients with the ICU supporting these services. The majority of care provided in ICU is to burns, plastics, orthopaedics, general medicine and surgical patients. The unit does not manage major trauma patients, but we may be involved in preparing them for transfer to another hospital.
