Royal North Shore is an ECMO service and an accredited trauma centre. The integration of these specialised pods within one unit is a distinctive feature not commonly found in other ICUs across Australia.

Our multidisciplinary team is committed to fostering a strong culture of collaboration and support, enabling clinicians to grow into highly skilled and compassionate practitioners. To ensure the highest standard of care for our patients, all ICU nurses are supported to progress toward Postgraduate studies in Critical Care Nursing, further strengthening both individual capability and the expertise of our unit. Staff undertaking postgraduate studies are eligible for a range of scholarships and education support.
