Royal Hobart Hospital

The Department of Health is calling on Tasmanians to know the right treatment option for their needs as hospitals and the wider health system enter the traditionally busy summer season.

A life-saving service that provides emergency care and treatment for heart attacks is delivering nation-leading outcomes for Tasmanians by enabling faster access to vital procedures.

Specialists from the Royal Hobart Hospital and Tasmanian Health Service’s southern region will this week host 30 medical and nursing staff and rural general practitioners as part of a program to upskill more Tasmanian health staff and improve emergency care in rural and regional areas.

A celebration has been held for 11 newly registered midwives in Tasmania who are beginning their careers in maternity services across the State.

A new campaign has been launched to promote respect for health workers.

The exceptional achievements of Tasmanian nurses and midwives have been recognised at an awards ceremony.
