Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH) Redevelopment Strategy
Several Development Plans for Royal Prince Alfred Hospital had been prepared by Sydney’s consulting firms. I floated the concept of consolidation as superior to the extant development strategy. I was engaged to develop and evaluate the feasibility of the concept and its benefits. The multiple operational, economic and quality of care benefits were accepted. The strategy guided development of the complex over twenty years.
Asset Strategic Planning Methodologies and Manning Base Hospital
I was one of a few consultants engaged to develop and apply asset strategic planning methodologies for NSW Health and Public Works. I was assigned the two area health services of Lower North Coast Health Service and Wentworth Area Health Service.
I was advised that NSW Health had allocated $5 million for upgrading Manning Base Hospital. My report for Lower North Coast enabled NSW Health to increase the allocation for Manning Base Hospital from $5million to more than $30 million
Following my report for Wentworth I was retained to develop and apply BedPlan Wentworth a model enabling the Area Health Service Planners to estimate the numbers of acute hospital beds required under various scenarios and to evaluate the impact of various supply options on the hospitals serving the Area.
