Our ten-bed intensive care unit has seven rooms, which are allocated on the basis of clinical need, for example critically-ill patients or those requiring isolation. As a result, single rooms are not always available for patients in the intensive care unit.
A multidisciplinary team
Our highly-specialized, multidisciplinary team is invaluable to the smooth and efficient running of the intensive care unit. The team is made up of:
- Doctors
- Nurses
- Nursing assistants
- Cleaning and maintenance staff
- Administrative and clerical staff
Everyone has an important supporting role to play in delivering the highest standard of care and treatment. A doctor is always on duty within the unit and each nurse looks after a maximum of two patients.
