Mersey Community Hospital

Tasmania's successful mental health emergency response service will expand to the North West of the State from next week as part of a two-year trial designed to boost access to timely, appropriate and evidence-based mental health care in the region.

Devonport Medicare Urgent Care Clinic (UCC) is expected to start seeing patients on 11 December 2023, with Devonport's My Clinic Plus confirmed as the provider.

A new campaign has been launched to promote respect for health workers.

The contribution of Tasmanian allied health professionals (AHPs) across the State was recognised last week at the Department of Health’s Allied Health Professions Day 2023 Awards.

The Devonport and wider North West community will benefit from improved access to life-saving stroke care at the Mersey Community Hospital (MCH) following expansion of the Tasmanian Health Service’s (THS) partnership with the Victorian Stroke Telemedicine (VST) service.

A new Rural Medical Workforce Centre is now open as part of the Tasmanian Government’s plan to bolster rural and regional health services across the State.
