This is the website for the Intensive Care Unit at Wellington Regional Hospital
We are one of New Zealand's leading Intensive Care Units, admitting around 1800 patients every year. Our new state-of-the-art facility opened in April 2009 with a new extension built in 2018 taking us to 24 beds. We provide tertiary Intensive Care services for a million people in the centre of New Zealand within a geographic radius of 300 kilometres. The unit is open 24 hours-a-day, 365 days-a-year and is staffed by a large team of experienced doctors, nurses and allied health professionals. We also provide a round-the-clock flight retrieval service to bring the sickest patients to our unit or transport patients around the country. Our unit has a strong education and research interest.
We don't look after burns, or spinal injuries but are involved in their transfer to the New Zealand specialist centres that do. We manage most paediatric cases (150 per year) but refer the very young and the very sick on to Starship Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand's specialist child Intensive Care Unit.
