As a Tier 2 VECMOS accredited ECMO site we have a well-established ECMO service. Our ICU also provides an Outreach service with Rapid Response Team to provide support for unwell patients outside the ICU. We are committed to providing the best person-centred care possible to the critically ill population of Victoria.
- In keeping with Barwon Health’s values, the culture in our ICU is one of respect compassion and commitment to our consumers, their loved ones and all of our staff. Our unit fosters dedication to these values in our everyday encounters within our clinical roles but also within our non-clinical unit activities and meetings. We believe that these values are a core part of delivering the highest quality care to our patients and achieving the best possible patient centred outcomes. We also promote the importance of respectful collaboration with other teams involved in patient care within the ICU. This team spirit is reinforced daily in our multidisciplinary patient management meeting.

Regular meetings with supervisors for 2 way feedback across all levels of trainee is encouraged.
