The Royal Children's Hospital Emergency Department is staffed by a medical team consisting of Consultants and Junior Medical Officers alongside a large team of Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners.
As a tertiary facility, there is a regular rotation of medical staff and graduate nursing staff employed by the emergency department; it is likely that your child may be seen by a doctor in training under the supervision of an emergency specialist.
There is a team of Nurse Practitioners (NP's) within the ED that may see your child; NP's are highly trained and able to treat and diagnose patients. Nurse Practitioners are the most senior Registered Nurses and are educated at a Masters Level.
Our teams are led by the Director and Nurse Unit Manager.
