It provides acute, sub-acute, primary and community‑based health services, to the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and surrounding regions. More information can be found on the CHS website .

General Physicians provide high quality, holistic and comprehensive care for patients with complex medical needs in hospital and ambulatory care settings, working closely with subspecialty colleagues and within a multidisciplinary team environment.

General Medicine advanced training at Canberra Health Services provides trainees with the necessary diverse clinical and educational experiences to develop into accomplished general physicians. Trainees who have completed our program have graduated into successful and fulfilling physician careers in a range of clinical settings across metropolitan and regional settings.

Canberra Health Services is accredited for 2 years of advanced training in General and Acute Medicine by the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. Advanced training in General Medicine is undertaken via terms at Canberra and North Canberra Hospitals.

General Medicine at TCH admits a majority of complex and undifferentiated patients who have multiple active medical conditions, eating disorders and toxicology syndromes requiring medical stabilisation. The Acute Medical Unit is a 48- hour stay ward, designed to deliver timely, evidenced-based, and holistic care during the admission phase of medical inpatient care. The model of care allows further work up of patients with acute undifferentiated conditions in a non-ED clinical space before they either discharge or transfer to a home ward under an appropriate inpatient team.

North Canberra Hospital is a 297‑bed secondary care facility. It has a large general medical unit with fewer subspecialties represented and therefore admits a large variety of disorders across the full spectrum of adult medicine. NCH is well supported by a level 4 ICU, CCU, and stroke unit together with 24-hour endoscopy service and surgical services.

Ambulatory care experience is incorporated into the clinical terms in General Medicine and sub-specialty clinics.

As part of the General Medicine AT program, there is dedicated learning and research time with a dedicated education program. We encourage trainees to undertake research, attend scientific meetings and gain experience in healthcare system management, teaching and training of medical students and junior medical officers
