Modbury Hospital

228 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (25 July 2018). How many training places are currently at Modbury Hospital? What is the expected increase?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has been advised:

There are 36 FTE current medical training positions at Modbury Hospital.

Furthermore, there are 69 'training positions' at Modbury Hospital of varying vocations and seniority, including in the Women's and Children's Division, Surgical Sub Specialities, medicine, aged care, rehabilitation and palliative care, mental health and critical care.

At this stage, Northern Adelaide Local Health Network is unable to provide details of medical training positions for forward years as medical training positions are dependent upon activity and service configurations.

There are 40 nursing training positions at Modbury Hospital for 2018 and plans for 41 in 2019.
