CANTERBURY HOSPITAL STRATEGIC PLAN 2013 - 2018
Foreword Canterbury Hospital has been an important and caring part of the Canterbury community for the greater part of the last century. We have a proud record of compassionate care, health improvement and innovation and have consistently worked to forge strong, ongoing and vital links with our local community.
This Strategic Plan (2013-2018) provides a framework to support the ongoing development of this important service.
Our vision, To Achieve Excellence in Healthcare for All, the Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) Vision, is consistent with the directions of the NSW Ministry of Health:
• Tokeeppeoplehealthy
• Todeliverhighqualityhealthservices
• Toprovidethehealthcarepeopleneed
• Tomanagehealthserviceswell
Ourmissionistoprovideaccesstotimely,highquality,patient-centredhealthcare.Achievingthisrequiresclearpriorities, supportive leadership and staff and community collaboration, underpinned by the core health service values of Collaboration, Openness, Respect and Empowerment. At Canterbury we have implemented our “CORE values” framework under the emblem “Canterbury Cares”.
This plan has been purposefully developed to closely align with the SLHD Strategic Plan, while articulating the particular issues, challenges and strategies that are important for our local Canterbury community, our staff and our management. The Plan’s goals recognise the primacy of the focus on patients, staff, community and the need for excellence in services, education, research and organisational support.
The format of the Plan has been devised based on the seven domains articulated in the SLHD Strategic Plan which reflect our key concerns in delivering health service excellence:
• OurPatients,Consumers,Carers •OurStaff •OurCommunity
• OurServices •OurEducation •OurResearch
• OurOrganisation
For each of these domain areas this Strategic Plan outlines goals, feasible strategies and achievable timeframes which reflect both the ideals of the District and the operational aspirations of the hospital.
Importantly, this Plan has been developed through a process of community and staff consultation and discussion. In developing the District Strategic Plan consultations were held at Canterbury Hospital and in the Canterbury community. In addition to this, a facilitated staff forum was held at the hospital to devise our local strategies and actions.
I am proud to deliver this five year Strategic Plan for the Canterbury Hospital which readies us for the future and its challenges. This ensures that our strategic direction will be well aligned with the needs and aspirations of our community and our staff.

Executive SummaryHealthimprovementandthehighqualityprovisionofhealthcaretoourlocalcommunityareintegraltoCanterburyHospital’s role. Canterbury Hospital has a well-established reputation for excellence in the provision of healthcare services and for managerial and fiscal responsibility.
The vision, outlined in this Strategic Plan, is “To Achieve Excellence in Healthcare for All”. Its accompanying missionembedsconceptsofequity,patient-centeredness,healthimprovement,timelinessandefficiency,recognisingthatevidence-basedservicedeliveryrequireshighlyskilledandvaluedstaffsupportedbyresearch,education and state-of-the-art technologies. The Plan’s strategies identify how these aspirations will be realised in service delivery. Integral to this Strategic Plan is the “CORE values” articulated by the Ministry of Health. These important values – collaboration, openness, respect and empowerment – are embedded within the Plan and inform every aspect of the hospital’s business.
Population growth, ageing and increasing births are projected to result in a significant increase in healthcare demandsonCanterburyHospital’sservicesoverthenextdecadeandmayrequireadditionalenhancementtothecurrentservices.Culturalandsocioeconomicdiversitywillcontinuetoposechallengesforequitableservice delivery in respect of both access and outcomes. A strong and collaborative engagement with our local communities, community organisations, primary care and other health providers is vital to the hospital’s mission. Through the local Aboriginal community, Canterbury Hospital will strengthen both its mainstream health services and targeted programs to address the health needs of Aboriginal people.
Canterbury Hospital will ensure that patient-centredness, excellence and cost-effectiveness is embedded in all clinicalcareandthatservicesandoutcomesareofthehighestquality.Supportingandempoweringourvaluedstaff is critical to patient-centered care. A prime focus is on recognising and supporting the core services in the modern hospital - emergency, intensive care, diagnostic services and operating theatres. Our services will continue to be networked with general practice, community organisations and related service partners. Our clinical services will be supported by effective information and communication systems that link care settings (across acute, subacute and primary care settings), are responsive to clinical needs and enable the extraction of meaningful clinical and service development data.

CANTERBURY HOSPITAL STRATEGIC PLAN 2013 - 2018
IntroductionCanterbury Hospital is a 215-bed metropolitan acute general hospital, providing services in emergency medicine, general surgery and medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, aged care, rehabilitation, palliative care and outpatients.
This Strategic Plan provides a direction for the hospital which aligns it with the District’s strategy and takes into accountlocalchallengesandissues.Issuesspanacrossqualityassurance,communityengagement,serviceenhancement, staff development, the development of evidence and research capacity and business process enhancement.
There are a great many service-related challenges over the next five years for Canterbury Hospital. Key amongst these include developing the aged care and rehabilitation service, developing our emergency, maternity and paediatric service capacity, looking at options for the development of non-inpatient services, developing our diagnostic and imaging capability, ensuring the smooth transition to the electronic medical record, keeping pace with technological developments and ensuring our workforce reflects our District Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations.
History of the Canterbury Hospital
Canterbury has been delivering health services to the local community on this site for almost a century.
Community members first began a campaign for a local hospital in the early 1900s with Returned Soldiers Association, local medical practitioners, the Campsie Red Cross Society actively pushing for the establishment of a hospital in the Canterbury area.
The foundation stone for the hospital was laid on 1 October 1927 by then Health Minister Robert Stuart-Robertson. The Canterbury District Memorial Hospital was opened just over two years later on 26 October, 1929 with 28 beds to service the local population of 70,000. In its first year of operation the hospital treated 587 patients. By the end of 1931 the number of inpatients seen exceeded 1,000. The outpatients and casualty departments treated 2,355 people that year.
Over the next century the hospital received many additions and restructures to cater for the needs of the community. During the 1930s and 1940s the Anti-TB Clinic was opened and hospital capacity was increased through additions to the original buildings and the construction of Thorncraft House. Thorncraft House recognised 11 years of service by Alderman Herbert Thorncraft as president of the Board of Directors. During the 1950s a new maternity block and outpatients block increased the hospitals capacity to 199 beds. The expansion of the hospital continued through the 1960s and 1970s. Canterbury District Memorial Hospital officially became Canterbury Hospital in 1972.
The hospital underwent a total redevelopment from 1996-1998 to provide one of the most modern health care facilities in the state. The $80 million redevelopment was officially opened in November 1998.

Our Patient Consumers and Carers
CanterburyHospitaliscommittedtoprovidinghighquality,evidence-basedpatientcare.Toachievethis,thefollowing broad strategy is featured in the Strategic Plan:
• Ensuringthatongoingsystems,support,staffandqualityassurancemeasurespromotehighquality,evidence-based patient care
Our CommunityCanterbury Hospital caters for a population larger than the Canterbury Local Government Area (LGA) of 220,000 people, of which 70% speak a language other than English at home. The main languages spoken in the local community are Arabic, Greek, Chinese, Italian, Vietnamese and Korean. The Canterbury area is also the initial home for significant numbers of refugees and humanitarian entrants from a wide range of war-torn countries includingBurma,SierraLeone,Iraq,Pakistan,ChinaandSudan.Canterburypopulationisprojectedtoincreaseover the next 10 years. The population is projected to have larger cohorts of aged people.
The Canterbury Local Government Area (LGA) is located 17 km south-west of the Sydney CBD and comprises 16suburbsspreadoverapproximately34squarekilometres.CanterburyCityincludesthesuburbsofAshbury(part), Belfield (part), Belmore, Beverley Hills (part), Campsie, Canterbury, Clemton Park, Croydon Park (part), Earlwood, Hurlstone Park (part), Kingsgrove (part), Lakemba, Narwee (part), Punchbowl (part), Riverwood (part), Roselands and Wiley Park.
While Canterbury City is predominantly a residential area, there are also significant commercial and industrial areas. The City of Canterbury is well-served by both State Transit and private bus services and the CityRail Network.
Canterbury has a high birth rate and a significantly higher fertility rate than NSW. Important maternal indicators show that women tend to present at a later time for antenatal care and vaccination levels tend to be lower than across NSW. This information suggests a poorer maternal health profile for the residents of Canterbury.
