St. Vincent’s Hospital is
inviting GPs to apply to become an Associate Visiting Medical Officer (AVMO)
and participate in the GP Hospital in the Home (HITH) Program.
GP HITH is a program for acute GP
care in the home. This includes the treatment of cellulitis with intravenous
antibiotics, or the management of DVTs with LMWH. Medical care is directed by
either SVH or if preferred, by the patient’s own GP (GP HITH). The SVH
Emergency Department provides an on-call medical service for all HITH patients.
St. Vincent's at Home
St. Vincent’s at Home is primarily a domiciliary
nursing service for clients of St. Vincent’s Health. It provides a diverse range
of nursing services:
Home
and Community Care (HACC) to assist people with illness to remain in their
own homes. Care provided includes wound care, assistance with medication or
diabetes management.
Nursing care to Sr. Francesca
Healy Cottage, for people experiencing homelessness.
Referral Process
Referrals are encouraged directly from
GPs and can be arranged by contacting St. Vincent’s at Home on phone 9288 3817.
