About the role
Ripley Satellite Hospital is a brand-new purpose-built health facility located within a residential community setting. The Minor Injury Illness Clinic located at the Ripley Satellite Hospital is a new Model of Service for the West Moreton Hospital and Health Service. Recognition of increased pressure on the conventional Emergency Department has resulted in the development of an innovative, patient centred model of care bringing health care closer to communities. The Minor Injury Illness Clinic will provide urgent, non-scheduled, episodic care to patients presenting with low acuity injuries and illness not requiring traditional Hospital Based Emergency Department intervention or requiring overnight hospitalisation.
This new Model of Care will provide opportunity for Emergency/ Primary Care Nurse Practitioners to care for patents presenting with urgent but non-life-threatening injuries and illness triage categories 3 to 5 and offers nuances of an Emergency Department without the overwhelming pressures and burdens of conventional Emergency Nursing.
