The Clinical Schools, the Hospitals and the Faculty David Tiller
Chapter 6 The clinical schools, the hospitals and the Faculty David Tiller Teaching in the hospital Teaching and learning clinical medicine is akin to an apprenticeship, some would say a lifelong apprenticeship. Since the formation of the Faculty, there has been a requirement for the University and the Faculty to form relationships with the medical profession working in the community. Australia had the beginnings of an excellent public health and hospital system when the Faculty was formed. It followed the Scottish university tradition of learning and teaching around patients and their illnesses in public hospitals, following a scientific introduction. The first formal liaison between the Faculty and the health system occurred in 1882 when the Prince Alfred Hospital became the first teaching hospital of the University and Sir Alfred Roberts its unelected chief executive officer before such a term was in use. Then, as now, tensions were noted amongst the institutions, with some jealousy between hospitals, notable especially in the early years between Sydney Hospital, the state’s first and then largest hospital, and the more recent Prince Alfred Hospital (Royal was appended later – RPAH). That hospital had been built adjacent to the University (on part of the University’s land grant). It allowed easy access for the students and the academic staff to clinical activities near at hand. In addition RPAH was strongly supported by Anderson Stuart who later, after Roberts’ death, became Chairman of the Board, very much directing the course taken by the hospital. Sydney Hospital felt that it had been unjustly ignored and it was not until 1909 that it commenced a formal relationship with the Faculty.

Labor's Plan To
Labor’s Plan to REDEVELOP NEPEAN HOSPITAL WITHOUT SELLING ELECTRICITY ASSETS A Foley Labor Government will set aside $351 million to redevelop Nepean Hospital. This will deliver Stage 4 of the hospital’s redevelopment – without privatising electricity. The redevelopment includes an enhanced comprehensive cancer centre with chemotherapy, radiation and oncology services; up to four new operating theatres; new comprehensive clinical centres with enhanced renal, respiratory, cardiology and neurology services; a new High Dependency Unit; new enhanced birthing suites; and an enhanced emergency department with collocated medical imaging. An additional $4 million will be allocated for planning which will begin immediately. The Liberal Government has not committed to this redevelopment. BACKGROUND: Nepean Hospital is located at the base of the Blue Mountains in Penrith. It is the principal referral hospital for the local health district and a teaching hospital of the University of Sydney. It provides high-level inpatient and outpatient care. Services include emergency, surgical, intensive care, coronary care, maternity, gynaecology, neonatal intensive care, diagnostics and outpatient. It was established on the present site in 1956. It is within the Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District (NBMLHD). The Nepean Blue Mountains area is experiencing population growth and demographic change. The population is projected to increase by 28% by 2036 across the NBMLHD. This means there will be 100,000 more people living in the District by 2036 than there were in 2011. The population is ageing, but there is also projected growth in the younger age groups. Between 2011 and 2036, there will be a 134 per cent growth in the population aged over 70, compared to 104 per cent in NSW.

Annual Nepean Research Day ~ Program and Abstracts ~
ANNUAL NEPEAN RESEARCH DAY ~ PROGRAM AND ABSTRACTS ~ THURSDAY, 27 OCTOBER 2016 PROUDLY SPONSORED BY: SYDNEY MEDICAL SCHOOL NEPEAN LEVEL 2 AUDITORIUM 62 DERBY STREET, KINGSWOOD 9AM TO 3.00PM Welcome to the 2016 Nepean Research Day. This is an exciting time to be conducting research in the Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District. This year’s research day aims to focus on the importance of developing a research culture within our institution and to showcase the broad types of research being undertaken in a variety of disciplines. I hope that the research day will promote current research being conducted and encourage more individuals to develop and undertake their own research projects in the future. There is an enormous need for collaboration and networking for many research projects and today would be an excellent time to identify and build links with other researchers. The excitement of discovery and enjoyment obtained from doing research is very addictive and the benefits go far beyond the researcher themselves, it extends to the patient, the local community, and globally around the world. I would like to thank our invited speakers from Western Sydney University who are presenting their interesting translational research on topics very relevant to our community. A special thank you to Nobel Laureate, Professor Barry Marshall who discovered Helicobacter pylori (my favourite bug!) which causes stomach ulcers and stomach cancer, for taking the time to talk to us via video-link from Perth. I hope everyone attending has a great time and I look forward to your feedback about the Nepean Research Day.
