About Us

The Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery Unit at Concord Hospital is part of Sydney Local Health District and the University of Sydney.

We provide a comprehensive range of services on an inpatient, ambulatory and outpatient basis. The Unit provides services for trauma and elective procedures. Services are enhanced by a close working relationship with other specialties such as the Burns Unit, Head and Neck Unit, Ear, Nose and Throat, Dermatology and Geriatrics.

The Unit provides services to the general community and at tertiary referral level with special expertise in reconstructive plastic surgery and hand surgery. The department is active in a range of clinical research activity closely integrated with clinical practice and teaching activities.
