Our Services

Inpatient

Medical care

Our dedicated medical team with post-graduate training in family and geriatric medicine is augmented by visiting specialists. Working with our partners improves coordinated care.

Wound care

Wound care is a major reason why patients are referred to St Luke’s Hospital, for healing of diabetic, pressure, venous and artificial ulcers, and surgical, traumatic and other wounds in a dedicated wound ward.

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation, with physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists, helps patients regain their ability to carry out activities of daily living, such as balance and walking, eating, speech and toileting, eg after stroke, operation and amputation.

Palliative care

To care for persons in the last stages of their lives, we care for mind, body and spirit to comfort and provide the best quality of life possible for patients and their caregivers, helping them to live well before leaving.

Dementia care

A multi-disciplinary, dedicated dementia care team looks after patients with dementia and supports their caregivers, in a purpose-built ward.
