Medical Opportunities

Rosella - Intensive Care is the largest paediatric intensive care unit in Australia. Rosella has a high acuity, with 70 per cent of admissions requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. In addition to providing tertiary paediatric intensive care for Victoria and Tasmania, several national programs are catered for, including heart transplantation, respiratory ECMO, long-term VAD, surgical treatment of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and intestinal transplantation. A large proportion of the workload (40-45 per cent of patients) arises from the cardiac services program, providing cardiac surgery to Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and the Northern Territory. Emergency and elective patients are admitted from within the RCH and external emergencies from Victoria and neighbouring states are predominantly admitted via the Paediatric Emergency Transport Service (PETS).

Rosella - Intensive Care provides registrars with a wealth of experience in general and cardiac intensive care. Training opportunities are available for Australian and international intensive care clinicians, anaesthetists and emergency physicians, as well as paediatricians wishing to increase their skills and confidence in the management of critically ill children.
