Redevelopment

The Tweed Hospital is currently undergoing a range of interim improvement works to ensure the hospital can continue to meet increasing demand and deliver high quality care as we transition to the new $534 million Tweed Valley Hospital.

Work commenced late 2017 with the arrival of a modular building at the rear of Pathology, which is being transformed to provide additional overnight inpatient beds, scheduled for completion mid-2019.

The works will also see:

  • The expansion of the Emergency Department to provide additional patient accommodation for non-urgent patients in an Early Treatment Zone as well as increased acute care beds and mental health facilities.
  • Additional high dependency beds in the Intensive Care Unit.
  • An increased number of treatment chairs and consulting rooms for Oncology.
  • An additional CT machine.
  • Increased number of Operating Theatres and increased surgical recovery area.
  • Additional beds –  Medical 4 Ward

The Tweed Hospital seeks the public’s patience and understanding during these works, which are due for completion mid 2019.
