Hospital@home registrar opportunities
are available within the Department of Sub-acute, Aged & Community Services,
Royal Hobart Hospital for 2026.
The RHH is the largest hospital in Tasmania. It is the referral centre for numerous tertiary services for all of Tasmania.
The Hospital@home program sits within the Department of Sub-acute, Aged & Community SerAward
Medical Practitioners (Tasmanian State Service) Awardvices
and provides care to a range of medical, surgical and sub-specialty patients who
require medical management that can be delivered in the community
environment.
The Hospital@home program was started
in April 2020 and currently has 30 beds, 20 acute & 10 subacute Geriatric
Evaluation and Management (GEM) beds. We also have a Rapid Response service that
assesses community patients to prevent hospital admission. The service runs
7-days per week. At present we assess around 200 patients a month. Our
average length of stay of 5-6 days for acute patients and 13 for
subacute.
Our case mix and the age of our patients
is broad. Greater than 60% of our patients are admitted directly from the
community avoiding the hospital entirely. The rest are admitting from the Royal
Hobart Hospital, both inpatient wards and the emergency department. These
patients are then cared for in community health centres, their homes, or
residential aged care facilities.
Our Hospital@home
registrar positions have accreditation with RACP for Basic Physician Training;
RACP & ACRRM for GP & Rural Remote trainees; and ACEM for Emergency
trainees.

specialist training programmes as well as the teaching provided by the
