Fiona Stanley Hospital is a state government hospital and teaching facility in Murdoch, Western Australia. Completed in December 2013, the hospital is the largest building project ever undertaken for the Government of Western Australia.
The hospital campus includes the main Fiona Stanley Hospital tower with 18 theatres and over 22 wards on nine levels, an education building complete with replica wards and a large tiered lecture theatre, a separate mental health building, the four-storey State Rehabilitation Service building, a pathology building, an administration building and two multi-storey public carparks. Most of the patient bedrooms in the hospital are single bed ensuite facilities, with less than 10% accommodating two patients.
After completion of the first stage, the initial design of the hospital was to have a capacity of 643 beds. The final design saw the bed capacity increase to 783. The hospital is named after epidemiologist and public health campaigner Fiona Stanley.
The site of the hospital is adjacent to Murdoch railway station, Murdoch University and the private St John of God Hospital. It is located 15 kilometres south of the Perth CBD via the Kwinana Freeway.
The entire health campus, comprising several buildings, was designed by the Fiona Stanley Hospital Design Collaboration, a joint venture between the local offices of three architectural practices Silver Thomas Hanley, Hames Sharley and HASSELL. The directors responsible for the project from each firm were Giorgio Raffa, Warren Kerr and Jeff Menkens. The managing contractor for the project was Brookfield Multiplex.
The hospital opened progressively over several months between October 2014 and February 2015. The opening was delayed by six months to October 2014 due to issues with readiness of new integrated state-of-the-art information technology clinical systems. The Fiona Stanley facilities incorporate technological innovations such as wi-fi-controlled "robots" that deliver catering to wards, and mobile computer workstations on wheels to assist staff with dispensing of patient medications while accessing required clinical applications. Most bedrooms also have new multi-purpose, wall-mounted swing-arm, bedside patient entertainment systems incorporating touchscreens and keyboards that patients can use for ordering meals, making phone calls, watching TV or movies/games, which can also be redirected for use by clinical staff via a swipe card for functions such as updating patient records and reviewing diagnostic imaging such as x-rays.
