You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.231.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:15, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Flinders Medical Centre''' (FMC) is a major public [[Tertiary referral hospital|tertiary]] hospital and teaching school, co-located with [[Flinders University]] and the 130 bed Flinders Private Hospital located at [[Bedford Park, South Australia|Bedford Park]], [[South Australia]]. It opened in 1976. It serves as the [[trauma centre]] for the southern suburbs, and parts of the [[Adelaide Hills]]. An around-the-clock emergency retrieval service brings patients to FMC by road or helicopter.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.flinders.sa.gov.au/aboutfmc/|title=Flinders Medical Centre - About|website=Flinders Medical Centre))</ref>

FMC is part of the Southern Adelaide Local Health Network (SALHN) which includes the Noarlunga Hospital, Drug and Alcohol Services South Australia and a range of outreach and community-based services.

==Redevelopment since 2002==
The State Government invested over $193 million in Flinders Medical Centre between 2002 and 2013, including significant infrastructure builds and increasing capacity and services provided at the hospital to make it the major hospital for the southern suburbs of Adelaide.

In February 2003, the [[Rann government]] approved funding for the construction of an acute mental health building at the Flinders Medical Centre. The building was named after Margaret Tobin, former Director of Mental Health who was murdered in her office in October 2002.<ref>SA Government News Release 9th Feb 2003</ref>

A new south wing building was constructed, which includes a Maternity and Gynaecology Unit, as well as a Birthing and Assessment Suite. The Emergency Department was redeveloped and now includes a paediatric emergency area, time critical bays and an ambulance deck. The Intensive and Critical Care Unit was also expanded by eight beds, increasing the number of beds to 32. A new Acute Medical Unit was built alongside the Emergency Department.<ref name=":0" />

Other construction included a 20-bed Cardiac Care Unit, an MRI and CT imaging facility, a larger operating theatre suite which included ten operating theatres. The paediatric inpatient ward was refurbished and a decked car park was built.<ref name=":0" />

Significant site engineering infrastructure was upgraded and Central Sterilising Services Department facilities were refurbished.<ref name=":0" />

==Redevelopment since 2010==

In November 2009 Premier [[Mike Rann]] announced additional funding for the Flinders Centre for Innovation in Cancer, with links to [[Livestrong Foundation|Livestrong]], which was opened in 2012 with more than 100 researchers working on cancer prevention, treatment and care.<ref>SA Govt News Release, "Backing the Flinders Cancer Centre", 27 November 2009</ref>

After completion of the $193 million in previous investment, the State Government committed a further $185.5 million to improve and upgrade facilities at FMC. Construction was to include a new rehabilitation centre (with 55 rehabilitation beds, new gyms and a hydrotherapy pool), Southern Adelaide Palliative Services will relocate to Level 5 of the new rehabilitation building (with shared spaces and a large rooftop garden), a new 1780 space multi-deck car park (1220 more spaces than before the redevelopment commenced), a dedicated orthogeriatric service and a new centre for the Older Persons’ Mental Health Service.<ref name=":0">((Cite web|url=http://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/public+content/sa+health+internet/health+reform/your+local+hospital/flinders+medical+centre|title=Flinders Medical Centre|access-date=6 July 2017))</ref>

Construction of the new facilities was due for completion in the second half of 2017.

==Proposed development==
On 19 June 2017, the Weatherill State Government announced two additional operating theatres would be built at Flinders Medical Centre, taking the number of theatres from 10 to 12. The State Government also announced the Emergency Department at Flinders Medical Centre would be expanded by approximately 12 additional emergency cubicles and a paediatric resuscitation room.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.premier.sa.gov.au/index.php/jay-weatherill-news-releases/7649-major-hospital-upgrades-in-adelaide-s-north-and-south|title=Major hospital upgrades in Adelaide's north and south - Jay Weatherill, Premier of South Australia|website=www.premier.sa.gov.au|language=en-gb|access-date=2017-07-06))</ref>

If Labor  win the 2022 Federal  Election,  they have pledged  $400 million  towards  redevelopment projects.
