SVPHN BREAST HEALTH CENTRE
FAST FACTS
THE DETAILS
“ … The architectural design is outstanding. This very creative team were an absolute pleasure towork with; they embraced us and the culture of our service. ” - Ms Daniele Doyle, General Manager, St Vincent's Northside Private Hospital.
The Breast Health Centre was developed in order to provide a high standard, comfortable environment for medical imaging diagnostic services. The Centre offers breast screening services, medical imaging and patient consultation space, jointly managed by HSNPH and Queensland Diagnostic Imaging (QDI).
The planning of the centre combined clinical functionality with a high standard of patient comfort. The initial brief for the project required a space that allowed patients and their families to feel relaxed and at home, removing the institutional feeling of a clinical environment. The incorporation of separate waiting zones and quiet spaces allow for patient privacy. Finishes for the space were selected based around a well-known Scandinavia fabric, with the colours and geometry reflected throughout resulting in a cohesive space. The use of timber look finishes and soft furnishing further enhance a homely feeling within the space.
The facility offers mammography and ultrasound services along with patient consult room spaces.
