Flinders Medical Centre - Redevelopment

Redevelopment

Flinders Medical Centre recently underwent a $163 million redevelopment. The centrepiece of the redevelopment is the construction of a new south wing building which is now complete. The new south wing building is a three-storey building linked to the main Flinders Medical Centre building. It includes a Birthing and Assessment Suite on level 3 and a Maternity and Gynaecology Unit on level 4. Services previously offered in the main Flinders Medical Centre building have moved into the new south wing to create room for an expansion of operating theatres and the Intensive and Critical Care Unit at FMC. The FMC redevelopment project includes:

• An expanded and extensively redeveloped Emergency Department, including 21 additional treatment cubicles
• Development of an new Acute Medical Unit, located adjacent to the Emergency Department
• An expanded Intensive and Critical Care Unit, taking to 32 the total number of intensive care beds - an increase of eight intensive care beds
• New state-of-the-art operating theatres including a first stage recovery area
• A new Day Surgery Unit including a second stage recovery area
