Gosford Hospital
History
The former hospital in Gosford, Gosford District Hospital, was opened by Hon C.A. Kelly, M.L.A., on 26 May 1945.
There have been progressive upgrades and expansion to the medical, patient, and staff facilities throughout the history of the hospital. This includes the adaption of buildings in and around the hospital to provide additional health services.
Operations
The hospital's emergency department is the third busiest in the state. Patients needing advanced care in specialties not present in Gosford, such as cardio-thoracic or neurosurgery, are transferred to other NSW hospitals including Royal North Shore Hospital, John Hunter Hospital or Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children.
Gosford Hospital is a multi-level building covering eleven storeys and is a teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Newcastle and the University of New England. Medical, nursing, and allied health students are placed there for practical terms.
