A record 113 new nurses and midwives will launch their careers and begin working at Gosford, Wyong and Woy Woy Hospitals in 2020 as part of the Coast’s annual graduate intake.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast and Member for Terrigal, Adam Crouch, said nurses and midwives play a crucial role in the health system.
Of the 113 graduates, 71 nurses and six midwives have been assigned to Gosford, 32 to Wyong and four to Woy Woy, with Mr Crouch confirming that these assignments were made on a needs basis scale.
Member of the Legislative Council, Taylor Martin, said investment in health infrastructure and health staff is at a record high.
The new staff will work in all clinical areas, including critical care, paediatrics, aged care, mental health, operating theatres, rehabilitation, drug and alcohol, maternity, medical and surgical specialties.
