About the Hospital

The Board of Governors and Staff of St Andrew's have a commitment to continue to develop the Hospital as a centre of excellence. This involves a continuous re-evaluation of the functions, management and physical facilities of the Hospital. In addition, the Hospital is proud of its activities in Staff Development, its commitment to staff induction and its capacity to offer certificate level nursing programmes and courses.

The impact of technology has been profound in all aspects of medicine. Methods of investigation have made diagnosis more certain and treatment more effective. Patients now spend less time in the Hospital.

Increased use of Outpatient and Day Care facilities and the involvement of paramedical services have contributed to the need for continuing change in the use of physical facilities in the Hospital. A Critical Care Unit was opened in September 1995 and an Emergency Department in March 1996.

Accordingly, there is an ever increasing range of sophisticated investigations, specialised treatments and post-operative care made available at St Andrew's Hospital to private patients. Our facilities are available for the treatment of patients from all parts of South Australia and beyond.

The Board of Governors and staff re-affirm their desire to maintain and develop further St Andrew's reputation as the leading largest private hospital in South Australia, continuing to serve the community by the provision of the highest quality of personalised patient care.
