Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital
Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH) is a teaching hospital located in Nedlands, Western Australia.
Opened in 1958,[1][2] it was named in honour of Sir Charles Gairdner, governor of Western Australia 1951–63, and is part of the Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) Medical Centre.[3]
All clinical specialties are provided, with the exception of complex burns, paediatrics, obstetrics, and gynaecology. It houses the state's only comprehensive cancer treatment centre, and is the state's principal hospital for neurosurgery and liver transplants. The hospital is closely associated with the nearby University of Western Australia as well as Curtin University, Notre Dame University, and Edith Cowan University.
Handling over 76,000 admissions annually, SCGH has 600 beds, and treats approximately 420,000 patients each year. As of 2012[update] some 5,500 staff are employed.[4] In 2009, it was the second hospital in Australia to be awarded Magnet recognition by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
