Ophthalmology includes outpatient clinics and adult day surgery as well as paediatric day surgery and inpatients. For nurses post registration, ophthalmic training and development is supported and encouraged in this progressive area of nursing care.
Their internationally renowned Burns Unit consists of 20 beds, which includes 4 Intensive Care and Dependency beds, 4 paediatric beds as well as its own dedicated operating theatre and a special outpatients dressing clinic.The Burns Unit is also supported by an outreach nurse specialist.
