Middlemore Hospital is a major public hospital in the suburb of Middlemore, Auckland City, New Zealand. The hospital has approximately 1000 beds in total, with 800 of these located in the main Middlemore campus, and another 200 beds in affiliated facilities. There are 24 operating theatres across two sites. Founded in 1947, Middlemore Hospital is the largest hospital in Auckland, New Zealand with around 4,700 staff providing treatment to more than 91,000 inpatients and over 354,000 outpatients per year (data from 2007).〔(Middlemore Hospital ) (database entry on 'healthpoint.co.nz' website. Accessed 2008-02-24.)〕 The Emergency Department (ED) is the busiest mixed (adult / paediatric) ED in Australasia, with an annual census of 98,110 patients in 2011, and the rate of presentations to ED increasing at a rate of 5–8% per annum. In 2014, Middlemore Hospital treated more general surgical patients than any other hospital in the country (11,500 patients, or over 32 admissions per day), with approximately 75% of those being emergency presentations. This number has also been rising steadily over the past few years and makes the hospital the busiest emergency general surgical hospital in the country. It is also known to care for an above-average share of expecting mothers, staff generally delivering over 20 babies per day. Middlemore is operated by Counties Manukau Health, offering tertiary hospital and specialist care, as well as a range of other health and social services, for the population of Counties Manukau. The defined catchment area stretches from Otahuhu to Port Waikato, and has a population of 525,120 people. The population in this area of Auckland continues to expand at a faster rate than the rest of the country (3.2% per year), and this, in conjunction with increasing population age, is expected to require an expansion of inpatient bed numbers to over 1500 by 2020. Inpatient services are also provided at several affiliated facilities: Manukau Surgery Centre, Kidz First Children's Hospital, Pukekohe Hospital, Franklin Memorial Hospital, Botany Downs Maternity Unit and Papakura Maternity Unit as well as dedicated mental health and rehabilitation units. Outpatient services are primarily provided at Manukau SuperClinic and Botany SuperClinic. Tertiary specialisations include general surgery, vascual surgery, orthopaedic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, burns and plastic surgery, dentistry, as well as specialised medicine, rehabilitation, renal dialysis, and neonatal intensive care. The South Auckland Clinical School based in Middlemore Hospital, is an academic division of The University of Auckland's Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences. The School coordinates clinical teaching and research in partnership with the Counties Manukau Health, and has established research groups focusing on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, Integrated Care, Medical Education, Orthopaedics, Pacific Women’s Health and Plastic Surgery. == New facilities == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Middlemore Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
