Launceston General Hospital

WACS employs 9 general paediatricians and 10 general obstetrician gynaecologists, many of whom have specialty areas of interest.A lot of our staff have young families therefore choose to work less than full time.The obstetric and midwifery unit cares for approximately 1600 births a year. A range of midwifery models of care are offered as well as the unit being the only birth suite in Launceston for private as well as public births.WACS is a level 5 service with a neonatal unit that cares for babies born after 32 weeks gestation. Earlier gestations at risk of birth are transferred to the level 6 unit at the RHH. There is a high degree of cohesion and collaboration between the obstetric, midwifery and paediatric staff. We are excited to now have our own human donor milk store at the LGH, supplied by Lifeblood.WACS general gynaecologists perform a wide range of gynaecologic surgery up to and including level 6 laparoscopy as well as open, vaginal and hysteroscopic surgery. Our length of stay statistics for gynaecological procedures are lower than the national average. We are developing an outpatient LLETZ and hysteroscopy service.Tasmania has few sub specialists, no current urogynaecologist, no COGU holders and the only accredited CREI and MFM subspecialists are in Hobart. Tasmania has 2 gynaecologic oncologists who both visit Launceston to do clinics and some operating lists. Hence there is the opportunity to be a true generalist.Due to the unique regional island location, the paediatric team manage complex patients in collaboration with mainland specialists.The Paediatric ward is modern, and the new Paediatric Outpatient space, is the envy of the island, shared by the Paediatric Allied Health Team, and the General Paediatricians, resulting in effective collaboration and case management with colleagues.At the LGH there is a high degree of collaboration between all the different surgical specialities meaning that help is never far away when needed.WACS has 6 accredited registrars in O&G, and 9 registrars in General Paediatrics, a combination of basic trainees and AT’s, and remains a sought-after training site.All but 1 of our current O&G consultants have previously done part of their training at LGH.The WACS Director role could suit either a Paediatrician or an Obstetrician-Gynaecologist, and has previously been filled effectively by both.
