His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan Bin Mohamed Al Qassimi, The Ruler of Sharjah and Member of the Supreme Council approved the construction of a hospital on the University City complex. This will be a 210 bed hospital which will be the key facility for the training of students at the University of Sharjah Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.

The vision of His Highness is that the Hospital will be :-

 ‘a state of the art teaching hospital with eminent clinicians working in a modern environment with a high degree of Information and Communications Technology support for clinical practice........University Hospital - Sharjah will be an international teaching hospital of excellence with human and physical resources that lead the Region’.

The Hospital, which is located at the heart of the fantastic University City on the outskirts of the city of Sharjah, is a magnificent building with state of the art equipment. The facilities,  including  the staff accommodation next to the Hospital, is world class and our aim is to make the vision of His Highness The Ruler of Sharjah a reality. The close links with the University of Sharjah – and particularly the Medical and Dental Schools – will give an unprecedented opportunity to develop a world class clinical and academic centre of excellence. We will all have the opportunity of being part of something which will be unique and very special.

The clinical areas will have equipment of the highest possible standard and excellent diagnostic support in Pathology and Diagnostic Imaging which will include CT and MRI , Ultrasound and Mammography. The Operating Theatres, Delivery Suites, Intensive Care, Neonatology Intensive Care, Coronary Care and other departments will all be superbly appointed.   The strong and developing links with the University which also include Nursing, Allied Health and Health Service Management will give Students at the University the opportunity to participate in the clinical environment. 

VHAGlobal – an Australian Healthcare management company - has been awarded the contract to commission, operate and manage the Hospital for five years. This further strengthens the links with the Australian, and in particular the Victorian, healthcare system as the Medical and Pharmacy Schools are undertaking curricula developed in conjunction with Monash University in Victoria and the Dental School curriculum was developed with the University of Adelaide.

The Hospital will be commissioned and the first phase of the opening schedule will take place at the end of May 2010 which coincides with the graduation of the first cohort of students from the Medical School. The Hospital is currently being commissioned and equipment installed and the recruitment of staff is well under way. This is an exciting opportunity to come and work in a superb facility and a dynamic environment. We welcome applications form healthcare professionals of all disciplines and parts of the globe who wish to contribute to the vision and want to develop their own skills and practice. It is possible that many posts will also have the ability to become joint appointments with the University.

The Hospital will have one of the most sophisticated Information systems anywhere in the world. The integrated Patient and Business systems will be leading edge with the principle of being ‘paper light’ being a main guiding principle. This will be in effect in all areas of the Hospital.

Our Management Team and Commssioning Team will be expanded over the forthcoming months as we prepare for the opening of the Hospital. We aim to provide a stimulating, professional and rewarding environment for all our staff. We will be working in a collaborative way with many other local institutions and our aim is to become fully integrated into the health and academic community in Sharjah and the Northern Emirates.

If you want to be part of this special project, if you want to have a rewarding career, if you want to work in a challenging, dynamic, friendly but professional healthcare environment , why not get in touch and see how your aspirations can meet ours!
