Our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) provides complex 24-hour medical and nursing care, as well as specialized equipment for patients requiring a higher level of care. Patients are admitted to the ICU either electively after a planned major operation or because of an emergency that may arise during hospital admission.
Other admission reasons include prolonged and complex surgery and post-operative monitoring of other chronic health conditions, such as heart or lung disease. The ICU is a 12-bed unit adjacent to a 9-bed High Dependency Unit (HDU) which allows for the stepping down of patients from ICU as they recover.
