From planning through recovery, our Perioperative and Intensive Care team is with you at every step. Before surgery we build a plan around you, during your procedure our anaesthesia and operating room teams keep you safe, and afterwards you recover under close watch. When more is needed, our adult and paediatric Intensive Care Units provide round-the-clock monitoring and life support..
OR Management & Day Surgical Unit
For many procedures, you can have your surgery and return home the same day. Our Day Surgical Unit guides you from arrival and preparation through surgery and recovery, so you are ready to go home safely and on time. Behind the scenes, our Operating Room Management team coordinates scheduling, sterile instrument preparation, equipment readiness, and quality assurance, so every procedure runs safely and smoothly.

Our specialists tailor each anaesthetic plan to the individual patient, combining advanced monitoring, ventilatory support, and pain management. We support everything from routine procedures to subspecialty anaesthesia for cardiac surgery, transplantation, neurosurgery, and complex cancer surgery in adults and children.
Adult Critical Care
Our Adult Intensive Care team provides 24/7 advanced care for critically ill adults across our medical and surgical ICUs, from severe infection, shock, and organ failure to recovery after complex cancer surgery, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, and major transplants, including bone marrow transplant and CAR-T cell therapy. When standard care is not enough, we provide advanced life support such as ECMO, and our rapid-response teams extend critical care to patients throughout the hospital."
