Brisbane Private Hospital Operating Theatres 17 & 18

Advancing surgical care at Brisbane Private Hospital.

As part of Healthscope’s expansion of surgical services at Brisbane Private Hospital, two new operating theatres were delivered to support orthopaedic and neurosurgery services. The theatres combine advanced surgical technology with major upgrades to the hospital’s supporting infrastructure.

Queensland-first theatre technology.

The project delivered Queensland’s first MEDIFLOW Modular Ceiling System, integrating HEPA-filtered air, LED lighting and ceiling-mounted surgical equipment. The theatres also feature Stryker iSuite technology, providing an integrated equipment and imaging platform to support surgical teams.

Delivering within an operational hospital.

Installing the new technology required significant mechanical, electrical and plant upgrades within the constrained inner-city hospital site. This included opening the building envelope to install a new chiller and pump, while adjacent operating theatres remained operational throughout the works.

RCP provided project management and programming services, coordinating specialist suppliers, hospital staff and Healthscope’s building services, operational readiness, FF&E and IT teams.

Completed on programme, the new theatres welcomed their first patients on 15 April 2024. Healthscope described the facilities as “the future of orthopaedics and neurosurgery”, with the expansion increasing Brisbane Private Hospital’s surgical capacity.
